Uh huh. Now we're getting somewhere. They do use some of the same
protection techniques. And that includes surge protection that uses
clamping to keep various parts of aircraft systems at the same
potential.
But they sure don't have a direct, short connection to earth ground,
which you have claimed many, many times is the only way to have any
protection.




*In fact, runways must be
specially constructed with earthing so that surge protection and

procedures.

Funny how you now want to move the discussion to aircraft on the
ground. What about when they are at 40,000 ft, with no earth
ground?



Protection is never about stopping or absorbing surges or
static. *Protection even in aircraft is about diverting a surge so
that energy is harmlessly dissipated elsewhere.

Oh bother. Buds agenda is to sell surge protectors. Now my agenda
is to create confusion, because I point out obvious big holes and
contradictions in your assertions. What's your agenda?
