Abstract
High voltage surge tests carried out on a CF-100 aircraft wing tip rocket pod are described. The purpose of the tests was to determine, within the limits of the test equipment, modifications which could be made to the pod to provide protection for the rocket firing circuits from a lightning stroke. It was found that this could best be achieved by ensuring that the entire outer surface of the pod was electrically conducting. In the laboratory a conducting surface was obtained by spraying the Fiberglas nose and tail cones of the pod with molten aluminum.
