How can the plane strike lightning in the air?
The aircraft flying in the air does not install lightning rods, but the aircraft still has a lightning arrester. In fact, lightning is a lightning rod, installed in the ground buildings or structures, it is the role of the air current generated by the lightning, lightning arrester, wire and grounding to the earth, so as to protect the property and personal safety. The plane does not make contact with the ground, so there is no lightning rod. Lightning protection device on the aircraft is installed in the "static electricity release at the tip of the tail or wing aircraft"

Each plane before the flight, the crew from the air traffic control center to get a flight after the weather forecast area, so you can take the thunderstorm cloud clouds around or adjust the height of the way to avoid the aircraft may be encountered during the flight.
