A Study on Verification Method of Direct Lightning Effects for Aircraft Antenna

Key Points

• Direct lightning effects can compromise aircraft antenna performance and structural integrity, leading to potential safety issues.
• The simulation produced results identical to actual certification tests, confirming its reliability for certification processes.
• Evaluation included high voltage attachment point predictions and analysis of current injection impact during simulated lightning strikes.
• This approach supports pre-validation in the certification process, improving design optimization for aviation equipment.
