    摘要: A lightning diverter system configured to equip a radome of an aircraft comprises a segmented strip configured to transmit lightning by ionization of the air to a point of junction with the aircraft structure. The segmented strip is configured to be installed on an inner wall of the radome. The lightning diverter system comprises at least one metal block configured to be installed in a through-hole of the radome, so as to be flush with an outer wall of the radome opposite to the inner wall and which is configured to be subject to an airflow when the aircraft is moving. The arrangement of the segmented strip and of the metal block or blocks is such that, when the lightning strikes the metal block on the outer wall of the radome, the lightning is transmitted to the segmented strip on the inner wall of the radome.
