Popis: The widespread use of composite materials with low electrical conductivity in modern advanced aircraft has placed higher requirements on lightning protection for airborne equipment. To ensure the safe operation of aircraft under a lightning environment, the internal cables and cable tracks of composite aircraft are modeled. The lightning protection performance of cables is calculated for different types and shielding parameters, and the effect of the cable layout inside a composite aircraft on the protection performance is analyzed. The role of the cable track in lightning protection is also verified. The calculation results show that the cable shield and track structure can provide good lightning protection for the cable in the electromagnetic exposure area, and the layout of the cable inside the aircraft has a greater impact on the protection performance. The analysis of cable shielding measures and their influencing factors can provide a reference for the performance improvement of cable screening measures for the lightning protection of composite aircraft.
