Weight-Saving ArmorLite™ Microfilament Solutions for ESD, Lightning Strike, and Aircraft Electrical Power Applications
Lightning strikes, static electricity, and transient electrical currents from power systems have enough electrical potential to cause discharge on an aircraft that can ignite ground fuelling equipment or fry avionics gear. These events are managed in aircraft, Navy ships, next-generation eVTOL air taxis, and elsewhere via electrical bonding. Flexible bonding straps connect equipment, airframes, and structural elements to flight control surfaces to conduct destructive electrical surges to ground or bus bar components capable of absorbing the transient voltage.
Glenair designs and supplies a broad range of lightweight braided ground strap technologies, from our signature ArmorLite™ microfilament braided material for both commercial and military applications.

- Ultra-lightweight ground straps with highly conductive or dissipative performance
- Significant contribution to weight reduction initiatives in commercial and military aircraft
- Standard-Duty Drawn Metal A-A-59569 plated copper and stainless steel materials also available
- Mil-aero designs with strap and lug configuration options beyond the mil-spec
- Fast turnaround on requests for unusual and build-to-print requirements
