Principle of Faraday cages applied to avionics and aircraft radar

Abstract:

Faraday cage's postulate: "All electricity goes up to the free surface of the bodies with no production of diffusion inside". The application of this cage is used to eliminate the electric field effects in volumes, to protect electronic equipment from power outages and other electrostatic dischargers; thus, avionic, aircraft communication or radar systems are not affected. All this is known as electromagnetic shield.
