not if it plastic

but the main problem
is what the various electrical and electromagnetic fields and brief power
surges will do to the onboard computers - which are in control these days. I
imagine that the results of a lightning strike would be somewhat random on
the aircraft’s electrics.

This is not the sort of thing you want at 35000ft, but at least up there the
crew have a few minutes to attempt to gain control and/or re-boot the
computers. This is not a possibility if the aircraft is on its final approach
at a few thousand feet above the ground.

I understand that aeroplanes being struck by lightning is a commonplace

Why would electronics inside the tube suffer any greater disruption
than, say, people? It's a Faraday shield (not a cage in this case) or
it isn't. Electronics probably have their own shielding as well, so
are better protected than the stuff in the seats.

If you get sufficient 'jolt' to require rebooting the computers I
would expect something to be fried and they won't. However, note that
pretty much all 'fly by wire' aircraft have a manual mode and can be
flown without the computers. You might lose a lot of displays and
such, but they'll still fly.

That 'plastic' is generally carbon fiber. Carbon, like aluminum, is a
conductor.

Because people are not quite so susceptible to induced charges, being full of
water.

Presumably you are unaware of the recent 737-Max crash? Not lightning, maybe
- but crew turning the computers off nevertheless.

Here is a timeline for you -

08:38 A sensor on the pilot's side falsely indicates that the plane is close
to stalling, triggering MCAS and pushing down the nose of the plane
08:39-40 The pilots try to counter this by adjusting the angle of stabilisers
on the tail of the plane using electrical switches on their control wheels to
bring the nose back up
08:40 They then disable the electrical system that was powering the software
that pushed the nose down
08:41 The crew then attempt to control the stabilisers manually with wheels -
something difficult to do while travelling at high speed
08:43 When this doesn't work, the pilots turn the electricity back on and
again try to move the stabilisers. However, the automated system engages
again and the plane goes into a dive from which it never recovered

Yup

Any flying metal tube can be struck by lightning.


But American planes survive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr9yjg_nJzQ

Of course, because they can only be vastly superior to everything else.




Didn't anyone notice the first explosion was in the
rear section of the fuselage? The pilot didn't dump
the fuel before landing so was overweight, and on
the long range version they added extra fuel tanks
guess where?

In the cargo holds.

Landing a fully fueled jet with cargo holds full
of fuel is a pretty idiotic thing to do.

An interesting supposition but not born out by the facts. It takes
100 mA to kill you.

It's a Faraday shield (not a cage in this case)


Thanks for the pedantry.


Thanks for demonstrating you don't care if you get it right or not.

or
it isn't. Electronics probably have their own shielding as well, so

I'm probably more aware of them than you are. It also has absolutely
zero to do with what's under discussion. The problem wasn't crew
turning the computer off. It was them turning it back on. And they
didn't 'turn the computer off', just by the way.


Here is a timeline for you -

08:38 A sensor on the pilot's side falsely indicates that the plane is close
to stalling, triggering MCAS and pushing down the nose of the plane
08:39-40 The pilots try to counter this by adjusting the angle of stabilisers

Interesting, but wrong. What that particular crew did was repeatedly
cycle the electronic trim control off and back on, which is what the
procedure called for. Note that this is JUST the electronic trim
control, not the 'electricity'. Adjusting trim manually using the
jackscrew is painful but possible and you hardly need perfect trim to
fly the airplane and flying that way wasn't attempted. At most trim
was set to neutral and then electronic trim was reenabled. Also note
that using the manual switches for electronic trim would disable MCAS
for 5 seconds, so 'nudging' the trim switches every few seconds would
have kept the aircraft trimmed and MCAS out of the loop (but they
didn't know that). The problem was that MCAS had more control
authority than could be overridden by the stick, so when MCAS
activated and threw the nose down it didn't matter if the pilot went
full back on the stick, the aircraft would still be nose down.

The actual issues here are more complicated than the explanation I've
given and infinitely more complicated than your description, but they
have nothing to do with electrical strikes and 'rebooting' computers.
