Abstract

A lightning strike dispersing structure may include a composite component having an outer side surface, wherein the composite component is non-conductive. The lightning strike dispersion structure may include a metal plate coupled to and extending across a minority portion of the outer side surface of the composite component, wherein the metal plate is electrically conductive. The lightning strike dispersing structure may further include a metal stud coupled to and in electrical contact with the metal plate, the metal stud extending completely through the composite component, wherein the metal Studs conduct electricity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for dispersion of lightning strikes, and more particularly to transmitting current received by an aircraft from a lightning strike. Background technique [0002] Certain components of aircraft, such as slide wrap panels, are often constructed of composite materials. Such composite elements are generally non-conductive and thus prevent, or at least prevent, the transfer of electrical current to the main electrical ground of the aircraft in the event of a lightning strike or other similar event. Furthermore, because the composite elements are not electrically conductive, a lightning strike may damage the composite elements and / or components of the composite elements, thereby adversely affecting the performance and safety of the aircraft. Contents of the invention [0003] In various implementations, a lightning strike dispersion structure is disclosed. The lightning strike dispersing structure may...
