Global Aircraft Lightning Protection Market Definition

The actions taken to stop lightning strikes from harming airplanes and their equipment are referred to as lightning protection for aviation. In addition to seriously damaging airplanes, lightning is a natural occurrence that puts passengers’ and crew members’ lives at peril. The purpose of the protection systems is to safely pass the electrical current around and through the structure of the aircraft, dissipating it without doing any harm. A typical lightning protection system for an airplane consists of a grounding system, a lightning protection system, and a lightning detecting system. To locate and keep track of neighboring thunderstorms and lightning strikes, the lightning detection system is used.

The purpose of the lightning protection system is to safely direct the lightning current around the aircraft, whilst the grounding system offers a route for the current to dissipate into the earth. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), two aviation regulatory authorities, place strict safety criteria on aircraft lightning protection systems. These standards lay forth the specifications for the creation, evaluation, and approval of lightning protection systems.

Global Aircraft Lightning Protection Market Overview

The growing demand for air travel and the aviation industry’s increased focus on safety are driving the market for aircraft lightning protection systems. Impacts from lightning can lead to expensive repairs, downtime, and flight cancellations. Advanced lightning protection devices that can resist even the most powerful lightning strikes have been developed to protect passengers and airplanes from lightning strikes.

Due to their high conductivity and lightweight, expanded foil systems are predicted to rule the industry. Commercial, military, and general aviation are the market segments according to application. The commercial aviation category is predicted to have the biggest market share because of the strong demand for air travel and the growing number of commercial aircraft in operation.
