The crash required more than four years of preparation by NASA Ames Research Center, Langley Research Center, Dryden Flight Research Center, the FAA, and General Electric. After numerous test runs, the plane was crashed on December 1, 1984. The test went generally according to plan, and produced a spectacular fireball that required more than an hour to extinguish.

About 4 years ago I was flying into St. Louis when we hit a thunderstorm. I had a lonely flight back so I was very bored and spacing out the window. It was night so the only thing I could really see was a small light on the tip of the wing. As we were in a holding pattern above the air port and waiting to land, a lightning bolt struck that little light. I remember the entire cabin of the plane lit up like it was day time! Of course I was freaked out having just witnessed a lightning bolt blast out my only external light source. I spent the next half hour as the plane landed clutching the handles of my seat like I was trying to leave imprints in them. Finally as we get the plane parked the pilot gets on the radio and with a little laugh says "Well folks that was fun wasn't it! Don't worry, we get struck by lightning all the time." I really would have appreciated him telling us that earlier, like perhaps when the plane was flying through what looked like hell. 😨

I've seen a couple videos on youtube now from fighter pilots about getting hit by lightning in F-16s, and other planes. CW Lemoine's channel specifically, a pilot almost couldn't land his plane because he was so punch drunk because lightning went through his body. So the danger of lightning isn't unique to F-35. On some fighters, there's a lot of luck protecting you, because there simply isn't enough room/weight for a robust lightning protecting system

Just to clarify some things here. Any damage taken to a stealth fighter and especially the F35 is taken as a CLASS A mishap, because of the functionality of the jet, it must remain mission capable at all times especially while operating overseas in japan. Its likely the Marine Corps treated these jets to a CLASS A mishap because of a lightning strike due to the fact that now they have to look over the whole jet and decipher if anything got extremely ruined. This is because its a brand new modern stealth fighter. I currently work with this jet when it is ship based, and have seen it operate in thunderstorms and less than preferable conditions with visibility below half a mile and rain pouring out of the sky faster than a showerhead could ever produce water past and present. I have SEVERE CONFIDENCE in the F35 program because ive seen it with my own eyes. Its extremely important we look after these jets so they can look after us when were in trouble. I can garuntee you these aircraft are ready, they are just under very close watch because its a very expensive program to keep a technological edge against opponents in (God Forbid) future conflicts.

Nicely presented. There's quite a bit more to aircraft-lightning interaction than that. Everything on an aircraft has to be certified to fly, which includes lightning withstand - from both the direct effects (high current, forces, and heating) and indirect effects (mainly interference on electrical systems). Having worked at one of the labs which does this, I can say it's great fun blowing up bits of planes to make sure they're safe when in use. Mainly specialized in fuel systems.

The OBIGGS has been sort of an ordeal because after the system was redesigned, a maintenance check found that the tubing got damaged so they put the restriction back in place. The video did address it but it was easy to miss. The damage in the Japan incident was not fully explained but the implication was that because the F-35 isn't a huge metal cage like other aircraft, there was no "Faraday protection" so there was damage even though they were still good enough to land.

I'm not up to speed with the investigation and what caused the tubing to get damaged. There's no "oversight" per se, if you have too much exposed metal skin it stops being a stealth aircraft. The fact is that when non-stealth aircraft are pitted against stealth in exercises they get the floor wiped with them. There's just too much at stake to prioritize lighting protection when the aircraft can be repaired if hit by lighting, but there's no repair if they get split in half by a missile.

That one baffled me as well. My first thought was that it would be something like the "ground" in cars. Which is just the car body being used as a common negative. Which in the case of lightning protection in aircraft doesn't make sense. As that would only interconnect all systems, ensuring that the lightning would get to them all. Upon a little reading it turns out that grounding in an aircraft is about interconnecting the shielding used around signal wires to avoid electromagnetic interference. And as such has nothing to do with lightning protection. Critical systems are protected by separating their electronics, not tying them together.

There are some extremely important lessons in this video, the most notable of which is that corporate executives will willfully make decisions that result in the death of customers, if it means a few points short-term boost in their stock prices. Billionaires are so likely to be in this position that many make such decisions multiple times annually, knowing full well that somebody will probably die because of their decisions, but doing it anyway because they calculated that it will be cheaper than keeping that person alive. Also oxygen is the enemy of fuel tanks

The F35 can fly in a thunderstorms now. It couldn't use the existing system because the F35 uses its fuel as hydraulic fluid. This requires high pressure in the tanks. This was fixed the the same way Bowing did it on the all carbon fiber 787. Titanium wire .

The F-35 specifically is designed to fly through thunder storms, getting struck by lightning is an extremely common thing for jets. And an F-35 is designed to take lightning strikes with very minimal damage. The radar absorbing material just attracts more lightning, making it more likely to be struck, but they fly through thunderstorms regularly it's no problem at all.

Takata air bags are a prime example of this. Every investigation has been lead by government or independent bodies. In fact Ford and Mazda PETITIONED to remove some cars from the recall because it would cost too much money. No care in the world that all of their cars from the 90s to 2014 had frag grenades installed 30 cm away from millions of peoples faces waiting to pop just because it was cheaper to make the airbag casings thinner with cheaper explosives. It took many deaths and thousands of injuries to get governments to FORCE them to pay the $100/airbag replacement. Poor multi billion dollar companies can't afford that :( but they'll happily charge you $500 to install mats in your car.

This is actually why SR-71s refueled just after takeoff. It's not what most people think. The real reason to top off the tanks is to remove all the oxygen from them, so the inerting system could fill the tanks with N2. The aircraft got so hot when flying supersonic it could ignite the fuel in the tanks.

well but it ruins the stealth if hit once but if it gets hit a few more times sooner or later the rest of the craft will get problems if they get hit more then once in quick selection is when the real problems with the craft shows up by the way lightning likes to hit high and large metal objects like a lot more than once if its the path of least resistance! in fact it can do that so fast that in 5 seconds lighting would have hit a object like that 6-10 times at that point! even i don't think even a F-35 with just its newest anti lightning systems would be able to handle that much that quick! if that kind of rapid multi lighting strike where to happen even the F-35 OBIGGS would not be able to handle all of that without taking a bit of damage in the process and would require mandatory repair post mission if the F-35s stealth wasn't fully compromised at that point from thermal heat sencture from the point of the strikes on the planes frame did not completely give their prosion away from thermal imaging detection equipment! this bescue by the way any area directly hit by lighting can get VERY VERY VERY VERY hot witch is bad for the F-35 stealth against enemy thermal detection anyway is one more reason the F-35 should not fly in thunderstorms! this is bescue anything struck by lightning even in a small point that point would be VERY VERY VERY HOT anyway! and i mean hotter than the surface of the sun hot would be! that is like very easy for most new heat imaging military systems to spot quite far away! so even if the F-35 has fully proper scheduling against lightning strikes! it would however would still become a big easy to see target from thermal imaging for a good amount of time directly after a lightning strike from the heat at the point of the strike on the frame would nullify any way of hiding from thermal imaging detection anyway!

I used to be an enlisted aircrewman in the US Coast Guard. On one flight in a USCG Lockheed HC-130H Hercules aircraft, we got struck by lightning. We checked the inside of the airplane, and as much of the outside as was visible from inside. We found no damage. After landing, it was discovered a small bit of the trailing edge of the left-hand aileron -- roughly 1/2 the size of an American silver dollar -- had been burned away. This did NOT affect the pilot's controllability of the aircraft during the remainder of the flight after the strike.
