A330 BMI lightning strike - wing damage
didn'n see this posted anywhere in the news/rumours section. If it has been, sorry for the double post.
http://avherald.com/h?article=41b76b3b An A330 on route from LHR to TLV was struck by lightning. Damage to the wing found, along with the loss of the winglet upon ground inspection. There has been speculation lightning can cause the airbus composites to fail. Could this be an indication of such? (Update: Link is being very slow, looks like its overloaded) |
non airline? eh?

I wouldn't assume from this that a piece of primary structure would suffer comparable damage from a comparable strike. |
