Yes, an aircraft in the air is relatively safe from a lightning strike. The energy will travel through the aluminium skin and leave it on its way to ground. But, if the stroke has enough energy, it can penetrate the aircraft's insulation and possibly fry electronics, initiate internal fires, or even ignite fuel vapours in the tanks. If it fries flight-critical electronics, such as engine control units, the plane's in trouble.

This happens all the time, it leaves a small dent on the plane the size of your thumb, and doesn't even need to be reported to authorities. Happens 3-4 times a year to each plane.
Planes are designed to be able to take a lightning strike. I was on a plane taking off from Buffalo N.Y. that was hit by lightning- I saw it hit the wing! I was freaking out, and my friend said calmly, I have seen that happen before!
Actually they are designed for lightning strikes. Conductive elements typically on the trailing edge of surfaces or within the paint itself allow a better electrical path rather than through the on board electronic devices. There is always the risk of a potential difference before the dissimilar parts reach equipotential. Lighting is like static in some ways, so you'll also notice bonding straps on control surfaces and panels. I saw this first hand working on F18 Hornets. Peace mate
This is how lightning happens: Charges from the clouds emit towards the ground and the first charge to make contact forms that iconic lightning hit. Once that occurs, electricity from the cloud is transferred to the ground in a series of pulses. By this definition, if the lightning would've hit the plane then the lightning would not have gone "through it". This means that the lightning strike occurred behind the plane. Otherwise the lightning strike would have stopped at the plane. This is also why things at a higher altitude are more likely to be hit, because there's a greater chance that one of the charges will make contact first before the other charges emitted. Just a coincidence that makes it appear as if the plane was hit. But planes usually have some way of defending against lightning strikes.
It's dramatic to see in video, but as some here have pointed out, it's not unusual for aircraft to be struck by lightning while in flight and they're designed to deal with it. In fact, an aircraft passing through the air generates its own static charge which the aircraft is designed to dissipate back into the atmosphere without disruption or damage. During my years in the air force, the only damage I saw to aircraft that had been struck by lightning was if there were skin panels that had undetected delamination in them (delamination is an separation or air bubble that has developed between the outer layers of the panel). A lightning strike could suddenly superheat and expand the air bubble in the delaminated panel(s) and blow the outer layer of the panel(s) off, which sometimes the air crew didn't even realize had happened until they landed and it was discovered on post flight inspection. I also once saw a broken nose radome from an in flight lightning strike, the damage was again suspected to have been aggravated by undetected prior delamination. That time the crew was very aware of when it happened, but the aircraft continued on and landed safely. In more extreme examples, there may be a hole found in an outer skin panel where the lightning entered. Sometimes the air crew was aware of being struck by lightning or suspected it, and although they detected no damage, they would simply note their suspicion in the maintenance forms to make the ground crew aware of the need to check for possible lightning-related damage. It was typically pretty routine. www.airspacemag.com/flight-today/how-things-work-lightning-protection-161993347/?no-ist
MP197742 If you r inside the plane u will survive that but not outside in the open.I think u should read about design of planes instead of making misinformed comment.
hehe, nor the machine where you enter the date you wanna go to. And I think it only works for Delorean... also it went too fast. Should have been hitting 88, but went way faster than that? or does anything over 88 count? :-D
Planes get struck by lightening all the time. The Fuselage acts as a Faraday cage so the passengers are in no real immediate danger, the real danger comes from the electronics being damaged.
As far as i know, airplanes skin is made of aluminium, which easily conducts electricity. But, since it is full metal coated, the lightnings goes all the way through the plane's body 'til it dissipates, finding a way out. Otherwise, it would be a vehicle to death or a barbecue delivery express! Cheers!
Yeah, I think if the plane had actually absorbed all the shock then it wouldn't have just passed straight through again. You'd think that sort of thing would mess with he electronics inside but I guess it doesn't
Lightning doesn't harm the inside. Before bullshitting anyone else learn what a farraday cage is. You can clearly see in the video the plane is surrounded by lightning while beinh hit, anf since plane isn't grounded, it will keep it's way to earth ground.
Agh, the stupid drives me crazy. Alright, folks, for the record, there is a very long list of federal airworthiness standards regarding the certification of transport category aircraft which must be demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction before the plane is allowed to enter service. Here are a few relevant excerpts: FAR Part 25, section 581: "(a) The airplane must be protected against catastrophic effects from lightning. (b) For metallic components, compliance with paragraph (a) of this section may be shown by- (1) Bonding the components properly to the airframe; or (2) Designing the components so that a strike will not endanger the airplane. (c) For nonmetallic components, compliance with paragraph (a) of this section may be shown by- (1) Designing the components to minimize the effect of a strike; or (2) Incorporating acceptable means of diverting the resulting electrical current so as not to endanger the airplane." Section 954: "The fuel system must be designed and arranged to prevent the ignition of fuel vapor within the system by- (a) Direct lightning strikes to areas having a high probability of stroke attachment; (b) Swept lightning strokes to areas where swept strokes are highly probable; and (c) Corona and streamering at fuel vent outlets." Section 1316: "(a) Each electrical and electronic system that performs a function, for which failure would prevent the continued safe flight and landing of the airplane, must be designed and installed so that- (1) The function is not adversely affected during and after the time the airplane is exposed to lightning; and (2) The system automatically recovers normal operation of that function in a timely manner after the airplane is exposed to lightning. (b) Each electrical and electronic system that performs a function, for which failure would reduce the capability of the airplane or the ability of the flightcrew to respond to an adverse operating condition, must be designed and installed so that the function recovers normal operation in a timely manner after the airplane is exposed to lightning."
Actually, airplanes could get affected by lightning strikes. The power surge from the discharge could get into the plane's electronics and/or create sparks that might get in the fuel system causing explosion. Of course, these are extremely rare occurrences but it does happen from time to time. The airliners are very much aware of these risks and have addressed most of the issues concerning an event of lightning striking a plane, emphasis on the word "most".
The amount of people here who have never heard of a Faraday cage. The lightning is sent around the outside of the fuselage and continues it journey to the earth, it doesn't makes its way inside. everyone is safe. Unless its a direct engine strike
This happens all the time, my mum works at an airport and says it turns of the power for a few seconds and then once the plane has arrived at its destination engineers are called in and make sure it has not damaged the plane
To answer all your questions: The exterior of the aeroplane experiences great pressure variations due to the displacement of air from high velocity objects. This variation in pressure diffracts electromagnetic waves such as visible light causing the horizontal flashes you noticed as the lightning passes behind the aeroplane. Also for those curious as the the properties of electricity, it does have mass and charge and effectively travels at the speed of light (despite the electrons themselves travelling only at limited velocity). If you freeze the frame of the greatest intensity you can still see the centre of the fuselage, suggesting that electricity was not passing on both sides of the plane and most probably only behind it.
Walsh2571 Yes and because the plane is in the air and is not grounded there is not that much of a shock to the plane and therefor the electricity passes through on it's way down.
if lighting would strike a plane faradays cage would be formed and the entire charge will be circulated on the outer body of the plane the people wont be affected inside
Hello! Is it possible to contact you over mail regarding this video? I would love to discuss getting permission to use the video in a production if this is possible. Greetings!
The whole "tire" explanation is dead wrong. Why? After traveling that far through the air, (which is an insulator just like rubber is) do you really think lightning would have any trouble going a few extra feet around the tire? Hell no.
Just thought I'd add my part. Lightning does occasionly strike aircrafts, with this in mind, engineers specifically design components within the aluminium skin to prevent big disasters. The lightning passes through the outside of the plane and then down to Earth, with only minor disturbance to the intruments in the cockpit.
Why wouldn't you? Imagine you are filming the sky during a storm to get some cool footage to post online, and then you see a plane passing by. Wouldn't you follow the plane with your camera to see if it gets hit by lighting?
Electricity needs a conductor to pass through and depending on the capacity of the conductor, the damage can be expected. Electricity always passes though shortest path and in this case there is no path as such. A lot of static current will be accumulated by the external body of the plane and subsequently the plane is designed with materials that will not conduct the same to internal body or parts. It is possible that during touch down the plane may have smoked substantial.
This Lightning Bolt happened behind the plane. 1)I'm pretty sure lightning bolts can't go through planes. 2)If that plane did get struck by lightning it would have gone down and crashed.
The airplane is made of aluminium metal but the inside is insulated, so the lightning hits the plane and travels kind of around the plane in the outer layer of metal then exits through the bottom. It's simple
vc Turtle no faradays cage will be formed and entire charge will be consumed by the outer body of plane no one will be affected inside such is the planes construction
The airplane would've been fine. Lightning strikes are actually pretty common in airplanes, and usually they don't have any affect on the airplanes capabilities. A lot of the bigger airplanes actually have lightning rods on them.
The cringe is real, planes are made to withstand lightning and it happens frequently, so do some research before you say "OMFG SOO FAKE REAL LIGHTING WILL EXPLODE PLANE".
For everyone wondering if everyone is alright: yes; nobody inside the plane would be injured. All that happened was probably a one second comms black out. The same effect occurs when plasma bombards spacecraft upon atmospheric reentry.
It's obvious the lightning was miles away from the plane, it just looked that way. interesting though! Although if it really struck, the airplane would have been on fire and it'd descend quickly!
Wrong I'm afraid, the lightning did hit the plane and it survived due to the fact that like cars, planes also form a Faraday cage, it may not be a design feature but by chance objects formed by a complete mesh protects what is held within...the lightning's current flows around it and carries on down to its ground point.
While I believe the lightning struck behind the plane in the footage, I know that even if it did indeed strike the plane, the argument that the plane would stop or even crash is invalid. Planes no a days are made from composite materials that don't conduct electricity, which would cause them to heat up and burn (explode). But to prevent this manufacturers use metal (usually aluminum) mesh about 1/1000th of an inch thick to direct electricity away from from the body of the plane and safely to the nearest point of least resistance. If a plane now a days was struck by lightning, nothing more than a few ruptured ear drums would occur.
Planes have a certain material that have good electrical conductivity on their exterior, such as aluminium, which is designed to allow a safe way for the lightning to pass through the material and keep travelling in it's original direction towards the earth. Nice try trying to be a smart-ass.
***** Ummm so you agreed with me then??... cause what you just described was a Faraday Cage...and that's my point, that's what protects the plane. it properly wasn't designed to be Lightning proof, more as a side benefit.
Are you stupid enough to believe man would create flying, heavy metal tubes that have no resistance to lightning in a storm, and put the lives of many at risk?
It all depends, if it hits on a fastener head it's easy, but if it hits the skin it requires cutting the damage area and installation of a filler and doubler with two rows of new fasteners added around the cut out. The repair could take anywhere from 8 to 35 hrs depending on the type of repair that calls out on the structural repair manual (SRM) of every aircraft
don`t be ignorant people please, nothing happens to a plane if its reached by a lightning, absolutely nothing, what most can happen is a small hole in the out fuselage, has happened to me twice, so stop commenting if you don´t know.
Hi, Awesome video !. May I ask about permission to use your video ? I will write in the video description about the source of the video. Have a nice day ! :)
This is how lightning happens: The internet is connected to clouds Like you can store ur download in a cloud so the cloud is filled with a nother cloud making it want to sneeze So it sneezed and POOF that how lighting happens kids.
This happened to a plane I was on flying into Salt Lake City. It's loud, there's a brief flash, the plane jolted, and nothing else happened. Not even a flicker from the lights and monitors.
Well timed, but actually the strike happened behind the plane and the bulge of light seen is merely just the light refraction from the shape of the plane being cylindrical. A different effect would have been seen had the lightning actually hit the plane, not to mention 2 things: the positive charges coming from the plane that high up most likely wouldn't have been enough to attract the negative charges of the cumulonimbus in such a large strike, and secondly the plane would've experienced an EMP effect as the positive and negative charges would have jumbled the planes electronic instruments most likely causing a short in electrical power.
All modern planes are equipped with a series of grounding rods and grounding wires that will attract the electrons and equally disperse them across the hull of the craft. The lightning won't have any effect on the plane other than a burnt out lightning rod and some noise for passengers.
People in the airplane be like: yeah nothing will happen to the plane B) *thunder strikes the airplane* People in the airplane now: HOLY SHIT TELL MY MOM I LOVED HER AHHHHH WE ARE GOING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree, why are you people downvoting? it's an AMAZING capture, once in a lifetime. the plane didn't even fucking flinch. i would have gone straight to the airport and shown it to them. i bet they had no idea... it looks like the lightning used it to travel to the ground and that's it. that's cool as hell.

2)If that plane did get struck by lightning it would have gone down and crashed.
vc Turtle planes are made so that doesn't happen
The airplane is made of aluminium metal but the inside is insulated, so the lightning hits the plane and travels kind of around the plane in the outer layer of metal then exits through the bottom. It's simple
vc Turtle yeah i watch movies a lot too.
vc Turtle
no faradays cage will be formed and entire charge will be consumed by the outer body of plane
no one will be affected inside
such is the planes construction
The airplane would've been fine. Lightning strikes are actually pretty common in airplanes, and usually they don't have any affect on the airplanes capabilities. A lot of the bigger airplanes actually have lightning rods on them.
I sure hope everyone on the plane survived.
Airplane gets hit by lightning: "You guys feel somethin?"
Airplane wehn someone uses their data: "MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
The cringe is real, planes are made to withstand lightning and it happens frequently, so do some research before you say "OMFG SOO FAKE REAL LIGHTING WILL EXPLODE PLANE".
LMAO that is some shitty Hollywood logic
It wouldnt burst into flames, the planes metalic body exorbs the electricty
Nick Fury: "Who the hell thought it was a good idea to let motherfucking Thor on this motherfucking plane?"
For everyone wondering if everyone is alright: yes; nobody inside the plane would be injured. All that happened was probably a one second comms black out. The same effect occurs when plasma bombards spacecraft upon atmospheric reentry.

no i am not russian
It's obvious the lightning was miles away from the plane, it just looked that way. interesting though! Although if it really struck, the airplane would have been on fire and it'd descend quickly!
Wrong I'm afraid, the lightning did hit the plane and it survived due to the fact that like cars, planes also form a Faraday cage, it may not be a design feature but by chance objects formed by a complete mesh protects what is held within...the lightning's current flows around it and carries on down to its ground point.
Ever heard about Faraday cages?
TheLordAncient No, if I am wrong, do correct me!

Lucas Araújo Thank you and everyone else for showing me!
and he just happens to be recording the plane. 👏
While I believe the lightning struck behind the plane in the footage, I know that even if it did indeed strike the plane, the argument that the plane would stop or even crash is invalid. Planes no a days are made from composite materials that don't conduct electricity, which would cause them to heat up and burn (explode). But to prevent this manufacturers use metal (usually aluminum) mesh about 1/1000th of an inch thick to direct electricity away from from the body of the plane and safely to the nearest point of least resistance. If a plane now a days was struck by lightning, nothing more than a few ruptured ear drums would occur.
Everyone knows that a plane would be falling if it was hit by lightning. Possibly on fire.
No because its called a Faraday Cage, Its designed to take a strike and carry on down to its earth point. Cars use the same principle.
uhuh
Planes have a certain material that have good electrical conductivity on their exterior, such as aluminium, which is designed to allow a safe way for the lightning to pass through the material and keep travelling in it's original direction towards the earth. Nice try trying to be a smart-ass.
***** Ummm so you agreed with me then??... cause what you just described was a Faraday Cage...and that's my point, that's what protects the plane. it properly wasn't designed to be Lightning proof, more as a side benefit.
Are you stupid enough to believe man would create flying, heavy metal tubes that have no resistance to lightning in a storm, and put the lives of many at risk?
Oww nice recommended after 9 years💅🏻
And this is how Thunderstruck was written
It all depends, if it hits on a fastener head it's easy, but if it hits the skin it requires cutting the damage area and installation of a filler and doubler with two rows of new fasteners added around the cut out. The repair could take anywhere from 8 to 35 hrs depending on the type of repair that calls out on the structural repair manual (SRM) of every aircraft
Why don't you repair some bitches☠
@@abur2803 that’s what I do for a living my friend 😆
CameraMan: Oh I'm gonna capture this plane zoom in and add lightning effect then uploaded to TH-cam yay!
don`t be ignorant people please, nothing happens to a plane if its reached by a lightning, absolutely nothing, what most can happen is a small hole in the out fuselage, has happened to me twice, so stop commenting if you don´t know.
Hi, Awesome video !. May I ask about permission to use your video ? I will write in the video description about the source of the video. Have a nice day ! :)
This is how lightning happens:
The internet is connected to clouds Like you can store ur download in a cloud so the cloud is filled with a nother cloud making it want to sneeze So it sneezed and POOF that how lighting happens kids.
Where's the Kaboom? I was expecting an earth shattering Kaboom!
When someone says your mom gay but you're an orphan
This happened to a plane I was on flying into Salt Lake City. It's loud, there's a brief flash, the plane jolted, and nothing else happened. Not even a flicker from the lights and monitors.
Well timed, but actually the strike happened behind the plane and the bulge of light seen is merely just the light refraction from the shape of the plane being cylindrical. A different effect would have been seen had the lightning actually hit the plane, not to mention 2 things: the positive charges coming from the plane that high up most likely wouldn't have been enough to attract the negative charges of the cumulonimbus in such a large strike, and secondly the plane would've experienced an EMP effect as the positive and negative charges would have jumbled the planes electronic instruments most likely causing a short in electrical power.
Pucha kisine
Kab ki hai ye vebeo
Why does everyone think this is fake. This is actually a somewhat common occurrence.
PIKACHU use thunderbolt!
Donald Trump:lets have more electric shocks.
Clinton:Hey you forgot pur election!
lighting:u will kill chu plain-_-
plane:DOGE
Me:Tan TAN TAAAaaAAAN xD
Pearl: iiii don't even want to know what happened to you...
Amethyst: I GOT HIT BY UH AIRPLANE
Nuclear bomber B-17 Go. Just go.
Whew. Lightning is crazy stuff.
That's really cool on how it gets struckrd
Cool . A lot of people don't realize this happens a lot more often than you think .
Finally recomend after 9 year 😉😉😉😉😉
All modern planes are equipped with a series of grounding rods and grounding wires that will attract the electrons and equally disperse them across the hull of the craft. The lightning won't have any effect on the plane other than a burnt out lightning rod and some noise for passengers.
pikachu uses thunder bolt
SUPER EFFECTIVE!!!
People in the airplane be like: yeah nothing will happen to the plane B)
*thunder strikes the airplane*
People in the airplane now: HOLY SHIT TELL MY MOM I LOVED HER AHHHHH WE ARE GOING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!
That is why you should never go flying when there’s like a thunderstorm
The operation is about a lighting strike makes fire on everything it touches but I think a tornado is stronger than everything.
You’ve been THUNDERSTRUCK
Plane: It's That All You Got GOD?!!!
i agree, why are you people downvoting? it's an AMAZING capture, once in a lifetime. the plane didn't even fucking flinch. i would have gone straight to the airport and shown it to them. i bet they had no idea... it looks like the lightning used it to travel to the ground and that's it. that's cool as hell.
This is why I don't fly in thunderstorms
the thor goes in takes loki by force and dips like a boss
I guess thats why the last shot is just a stopped frame from when the last bolt went past it.
This is why you don't go on a plane if there's a possible thunderstorm
