Lighting strike analysis for drones

Using Drones or UAV for different application is the future. Currently there are almost 70 companies that design and manufacture Drones or UAV, that only include commercial usage. There are 3rd party companies that focus on military use of Drone and UAV. The number of companies increased from 6 in 2015 to 70 in 2016, and the number is still growing. One major application is emergency response drone for civilian applications. There is no standard platform of Drone, rules & regulation are not well planed yet, so simulation and testing is strongly recommended. Currently most drones do not fly in bad weather because they are not designed to do so. In this paper we will show the problems a drone can have in bad weather like lightning strike and rain. Using simulations, we can show the lighting strike effects and how to solve the lighting strike problem.
