Abstract

The article considers modern approaches to lightning protection of structures from PCM that extending to the outer circuit of aircrafts. A The lightning protection coating named VMPZ-1 is new development of the NRC «Kurchatov Institute» – VIAM , which is a leveling composite film with an integrated metal layer that can be used as metal perforated foils or metal knitted wire nets of various surface densities. The basic properties of the developed lightning coating VMZP-1 and the results of testing elementary samples for lightning resistance are given here.
