Zusammenfassung:A system for dissipating a lightning current produced by a thunderstorm discharge on an avionic equipment installed on the external skin of an aircraft, the external skin being made of a composite material covered with a layer of expanded metal and including an orifice in which there is positioned an aerodynamic plate covering the avionic equipment. The aerodynamic plate is attached to the external skin by a doubler. The system includes at least one metal plate at least partially surrounding the aerodynamic plate and mounted so as to ensure electrical continuity between the doubler and the layer of expanded metal so as to dissipate the lightning current into the layer of expanded metal.
