There is no way this is possible, but airplanes get struck by lightning once per year and don't crash. Here's the insane science behind it: Engineers design planes with aluminum skins that act like a giant conductor, letting lightning pass harmlessly along the outside and exit through wingtips. Your plane is basically a flying Faraday cage protecting everyone inside. Electronics are shielded, fuel systems are protected, and planes are literally tested by blasting them with artificial lightning.

Before takeoff, pilots perform a key test: checking the airplane’s fuel. Why? Because if water mixes with jet fuel, the engine can fail and cause an accident. ⚠️ This simple procedure consists of draining a small amount of fuel into a clear container. If they see water or impurities, the flight is stopped until the tank is 100% clean. A step that may seem small, but it saves lives on every flight. 🙌 #Aviation #Airplanes #AirSafety #DidYouKnow | Out Oftime

Why have jet fuel tanks become so safe? Modern airliners from Boeing and Airbus are protected by advanced Fuel Tank Inerting Systems. These systems pump nitrogen into the tanks, removing oxygen so fuel vapors can’t ignite — a breakthrough in aviation safety. Born out of lessons from TWA Flight 800, this invisible safeguard makes explosions virtually impossible while jets operate. Silent, automatic, and vital — it’s one of aviation’s smartest safety upgrades. #avgeek #planespotting #Boeing #airbu

Aviator_Raza on Instagram: "When fighter jets are tested indoors with visible flames, the process is known as engine ground testing in an engine test cell, specifically afterburner ground testing. In this procedure, the jet engine is securely mounted inside a heavily reinforced, soundproof structure called a test cell, which is designed to withstand extreme heat, vibration, pressure, and noise. During the test, the engine is gradually run from idle to maximum thrust, and in fighter aircraft this

Scifactism on Instagram: "Before many flights, pilots or ground crews draw a small fuel sample into a clear vial to check for contamination, especially water. Because jet fuel is lighter than water, any droplets or a clear layer settling at the bottom become easy to spot. Holding the vial up to natural light quickly reveals whether the fuel is pure or shows signs of separation, helping crews catch issues before departure. Even small amounts of water can freeze at altitude, block filters, disrupt
