Transtrike Lightning Diverter Strips

Part Number:

DOCUMENTS:

• DG Transtrike

The lightning diverter strips described in the below attachment are designed to minimize or prevent damage to aircraft radomes and other dielectric structures in the event of a lightning strike. The strips consist of metal segments connected by a resistive track on a dielectric substrate. The strips are designed so that an ionized channel is established over the metal segments during the lightning strike. The lightning current travels in this ionized channel above the segments. The strips can withstand repeated lightning strikes. The basic design objective is to prevent or minimize lightning current from damaging or entering the radome. The design objective is effectively accomplished with the proper installation of Transtrike Lightning Diverter Strips.
