Lightning in WB, Odisha : Air Travel during a Thunderstorm

Thanks to a nifty feature called the Faraday cage, any lightning that dares strike an aircraft is cleverly redirected around the fuselage, protecting everyone inside.

This system ensures that electricity from the lightning exits the plane just as quickly as it arrives, leaving the aircraft and its passengers unharmed.

Aircraft routinely face lightning once or twice a year, proving their resilience. So, the next time dark clouds gather, rest easy knowing your flight is secure.
