Planes are designed to withstand lightning strikes due to their conductive exterior materials and grounded systems. When struck by lightning, the electricity is safely conducted around the aircraft and discharged through antennas or other grounding mechanisms. While lightning strikes are rare, planes are built to mitigate the risks and ensure the safety of passengers and crew.
