Aircraft & Aviation

Whether you're looking to pursue a career in aviation, improve your aviation knowledge, or simply...

Many aircraft are struck by lightning, but due to their design with conductive materials, like aluminum, the electrical charge dissipates without harm. The last recorded commercial plane crash attributed to lightning was in 1963. Advances in engineering have made this once-feared phenomenon a spectacle rather than a threat. So next time you fly through a storm, rest assured you're safe. Have you ever experienced something on a flight that seemed daunting but was actually a marvel of modern engineering?
