Growing Demand and Adoption of Aircraft Lightning Protection System in Civil Aviation Will Drive the Growth of the Global Aircraft Lightning Market

Published: Jul 2022

The global aircraft lightning protection market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period (2022-2028).  According to the United States Federal Aviation Association (FAA)  there are approximately 100 lightning strikes per day throughout the world, in which 80% of lightning strikes occur in the clouds and stay there. But the risk of a lightning strike on a flying object such as an airplane is still a threat. It is estimated that lightning strikes a commercial plane once every 1000 flight miles. Most of these lightning strikes do little to no damage and usually, passengers don't even notice the lightning strike. According to a survey of US commercial jets, most lightning strikes occur between 5,00 and 15,000 feet of altitude. Some strikes occur when the plane is in the cloud where the lightning is happening. Also, sometimes when aircraft are in a big open space poses the threat of a lightning strike, as sometimes the rudder of the aircraft can attract the lightning which poses a serious threat to the aircraft.

To prevent any critical damage on the aircraft, most aircraft have a thick external metal that is thick enough to resist a lightning strike. Manufacturers provide extra lightning protection measures that are mostly installed at the nose, tip, wings, and rudder, which are the parts that are most likely to be struck by lightning. Some of the common aircraft lightning protection measures include Avionic and flight control protection and conductive mesh covering. The first step in the airport lightning safety is the accurate detection of total lightning of both the in-cloud and cloud to ground strikes. Sever weathers such as microbursts, tornedoes and hail are particularly dangers the aircraft, the cloud-to-ground strike could injure people on the ground at the airport. Furthermore, to protect the ground crew from a lightning strike, total lightning detection systems are used at the airports and air bases. Thus, the growing concern for passenger safety and aircraft safety of the aircraft is driving the global aircraft lightning protection market.
