please keep in mind however that the duration of the induced current is in the nano seconds
Most lightning strikes that we hear about are a small splinters of
the main bolt and hit with significantly less power, in the 1000's of amps or less, not 100s of thousands of amps. Even then, 1000 amps going through your airframe is not going to be pleasant or inconsequential. Then there is the issue of induced currents in your airplane's wiring from a lightning bolt passing near the airplane.<<
