Zusammenfassung:	An aircraft windshield wiper system (10) includes a wiper arm (14), a wiper blade (16) coupled to a distal end of the wiper arm, and a drive shaft (18) coupled to a proximal end of the wiper arm. The wiper blade (16) is configured to clean water, dirt, and other debris from the windshield of the aircraft. The drive shaft (18) is configured to rotate and cause the wiper arm with the coupled wiper blade to sweep across the windshield. The wiper arm (14) includes both composite and metal components to reduce the weight of the windshield wiper system while also providing lightning strike protection.
