Custom Lightning and Grounding Straps for Aircraft Protection
A single lightning strike can hit an aircraft with as much as 1,000,000 volts. Static electricity can charge an aircraft, particularly in cold and wet air, with enough electrical potential to result in a discharge that can ignite ground fueling equipment or fry avionics gear.
Damage from these events is minimized and managed in aircraft, Navy ships, mass transit systems and elsewhere through the use of electrical bonding. Flexible bonding straps are attached between equipment and the airframe as well as between structural elements and flight control surfaces to conduct destructive electrical surges to ground or to bus bar components capable of absorbing significant amounts of transient voltage
Aerosystems supply custom braided ground strap technologies to aerospace customers. Our ground straps are exactingly designed on customer requirements with appropriate conductive and dissipative materials for each application.
We can provide custom Lightning, Bonding and Grounding Straps made of flexible tubular or flat braid and with custom shape.
