The rapid growth in avionic flight safety critical systems coupled with large scale use of poorly conducting structural materials has made essential a deliberate and consistent design and test philosophy for aircraft lightning strike protection. The paper discusses the design measures taken in the installation of a fly-by-wire (FBW) system in a Jaguar aircraft to be used as a technology demonstrator. The whole aircraft simulated lightning strike tests carried out are briefly described, together with complementary bench tests. The experience gained is reviewed and used to provide a basis for a consistent philosophy of design and test for any future FBW aircraft. (Author)
