Ease of Installation and Maintenance Cost |
| 5. |
No holes drilled for installation to radome -
Can eliminate moisture problems |
| 6. |
Savings realized because of number of parts needed for
solid diverter installations
Drill holes - Install inserts - Seal inserts -
Install Solid Diverters - Install Bolts and seal |
|
| 7. |
No current flow in LDS strips as opposed to solid
diverters |
| 8. |
Segmented diverters offer significant advantages
whereby you do not have electromagnetic effects from current flow as you do in solid
diverters. Further, high current making right turn from solid diverter to bolt
causes physical damage, whereas current traveling in an ionized path above the buttons
makes a smooth transfer to airframe. |
