Lightning in a bottle

The landmark experiments conducted by the MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AeroAstro) utilize the Wright Brothers Wind Tunnel to study how aircraft interact with lightning and severe electrical phenomena. Led by faculty like Professor Carmen Guerra-Garcia and student researchers, the team generated controlled electrical arcs (artificial lightning.)
