Role of Copper Wire Mesh in Lightning Strike in Aerospace
Copper wire mesh is a material that is widely employed as wire cloth in aerospace industry for lightning strike protection. This is because lightning strikes can pose a serious danger to aircraft, potentially damaging critical systems and jeopardizing the safety of passengers and crew. As a result, effective lightning protection systems are essential for aircraft design. Copper wire mesh is highly conductive and can effectively dissipate the electrical energy of a lightning strike. During a lightning strike, a large amount of electrical current with high voltage and current levels can be produced, which can be harmful to the aircraft structure. However, copper wire mesh can safely conduct the current away from the aircraft structure, thereby reducing the risk of damage and ensuring the aircraft's safety. One of the advantages of copper wire mesh is its high conductivity. This means that it can conduct a large amount of electrical current without overheating or melting. Copper w...
