A natural target for lightning bolts, every airplane is designed with conductive materials, which allow lightning to safely exit a plane.

When Lightning Strikes Your Airplane…
I saw a plane get struck a couple of years ago as it was passing over the highway to land. It just went in one end, out the other and to the ground. Plane just carried on like it was nothing.
When I was going to florida lightning struck the airplane

Very Interestingโ
I misread this as 'When your lightning strikes airplane'.
What if he hits the planes before it's about to take off
???????โ๏ธ?โกโกโก
now lets make it birdproof
Oh wait so logically the older planes were thought to be safer against lightning?
If lightning strikes your plane, then you would need to rely on a swarm of bees to land your plane vertically
Nothing happens.
Ahhh it's unfortunate that the "It's Brighter Here" end bumper was made years later. That'd be appropriate for this
Honestly I figured it would be something like that, I was more curious as to what it would feel/sound like to be in a 747 when it happened
Nice to see a short Smithsonian Channel video about aircraft where a plane doesn't crash at the end.
It actually just gives you enough speed to beat the Russian and china ones
I was on a plane, probably when I was in second grade, coming back from a vacation, and there was a MASSIVE thunderstorm which is really uncommon where I am, and we flew right threw it- my dad told me that the technology was meant to just let lightning pass through but I SWEAR it zapped through the plane and made the lights flicker a couple times- maybe I was too young to remember but dang flying through a lightning storm was so cool
mine got struck had to fly back to la
Its A380 Turbulence???
well i dont have a real plane
