What are the red and green lights on plane wings?
These red and green lights aren't a Christmas decoration. Instead, the blinking lights on either side of the plane are used to notify other aircraft of their intended flight path. This prevents the possibility of a collision.
Can a plane be struck by lightning?
Although this might concern you, the answer is yes. However, airplanes are designed with aluminum, which is good for conducting electricity. Lightning strikes will almost always flow through the outside of the plane without affecting its mechanics.
