Objective
The project aims to provide the European aeronautical administration, in particular the JAA, with new methods for defining the lightning threat for each specific new aircraft or helicopter programme and a more realistic and quantitative evaluation of the threat levels to be sustained by structure or equipment. It will be acheived through: a critical analysis of present regulations; collection of field lightning data; analysis and physical study of lightning/aircraft interaction at the airframe level (external threat) and at the equipment level (internal threat).
A global synthesis will be proposed on the basis of an improved representation of lightning, including new definitions of the external threat, zoning and test waveforms, and corresponding upgraded regulation requirements, supported by a good statistical correlation with observed measurements or incidents.
