Lightning tests of Unmanned Aircrafts with impulse Generator

摘要

This article presents the results of experimental research on the susceptibility of multi-rotor aircrafts to atmospheric discharges. The study was carried out in the Laboratory of Lightning Immunity Tests of Avionicsat the Rzeszow University of Technology, using the only such equipment in Poland. The influence of disturbances arising during lightning strikes on the drone's work was investigated, simulating a flight in the immediate vicinity of the storm front. Specialist pulse generator designed for avionics research made it possible to perform repeat measurements for different variants of the propagation path of the disturbance and its value.
