Application: Aircraft lightning protection structure (Patent ID: US20230415916A1)

The patent filed by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. describes a lightning stroke resistant structure for a flying object, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle. The structure includes a lattice-shaped conductor surrounding the flying object at a distance that does not hinder flight, an attachment part connecting the conductor to the flying object, and a conducting wire connecting the conductor to a ground point on the ground. This design aims to protect the flying object from lightning strikes by providing a path for the electrical current to safely dissipate into the ground.

By utilizing a lattice-shaped conductor and a conducting wire connected to the ground, the structure ensures that any lightning strikes are safely redirected away from the flying object, reducing the risk of damage or interference with its operation. This innovative approach to lightning protection in the context of flying objects, particularly unmanned aerial vehicles, demonstrates a practical solution to a common safety concern in aviation. The design allows for effective lightning protection without compromising the flight capabilities of the object, making it a valuable addition to the field of aerial technology.
