Protection of Nonmetallic Aircraft From Lightning 4: Electrocution Hazards From Inductive Voltages

Report presenting tests made on an XCG-7 all-wood glider on a PT-19A training airplane with a tubular metal fuselage and wooden wings by passing electrical surges simulating lightning discharges through the aircraft and measuring the voltage induced between various points which might be touched by an occupant. While certain recommendations for electrical protection are provided, the personnel in a metal fuselage aircraft are reasonably well protected from induced voltage shock without other protection.
