“Lightening is a problem for any aircraft. Sheesh.
Does Popular Mechanics have any credibility anymore? Just another rag the Libtards have ruined.”
Absolutely right! Former USAF fighter jet mechanic here. Nothing humans build is immune to lightning.
A lightning strike would be more likely to fry sensitive electronics and flight control systems (a serious danger on an aerodynamically unstable aircraft). Bad stuff would happen far short of a fuel tank explosion. Sheesh!
