Bengaluru, Feb 24 (Ians) Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a unique computational model to simulate how lightning can strike an aircraft.
The insights they have gleaned from this model can help design better lightning protective measures for aircraft.
While lightning strikes can be dangerous for aircraft, studying this phenomenon in the field is quite difficult.
Lightning strikes can damage the aircraft surface, lead to temporary disruptions in electrical and electronic systems or even cause permanent damage, and in extreme cases, cause ignition of the fuel-air mixture around the engine, leading to an explosion, an IISc release stated.
“Usually, an aircraft gets struck by lightning once every 1,000 hours,” says Udaya Kumar, Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, IISc, whose lab has been investigating this phenomenon in recent years. “There have been a lot of incidents in the last century where things have been very catastrophic.”

The Indian Finance Ministry unveiled its choice for the new Rupee symbol today--and it's an amalgam of both Eastern and Western letters, using the Devanagari "Ra" and Roman capital "R."
India's currency has been strangely bereft of an official symbol to use when denoting it in text. Googling for "rupee symbol" returns a barrage of different results, revealing the typographic disarray that existed--until now.
The new symbol is the creation of Indian Institute of Technology assistant professor, D. Udaya Kumar. "I don't have words to express my happiness," he told a reporter, adding that he was quietly confident about his design being picked ahead of the competition. "Most of them were almost similar in concept and execution. I thought I had an edge, as Indian script was represented."
Mr Kumar, who starts his new job at the Iit-Guwahati tomorrow, gets 2.5 Lakh rupees (250,000), or $5,357 in prize money. He also wanted the symbol,...
