摘要：An aircraft drainmast assembly including a drainmast for ejection of waste waterfrom an aircraft and a grounding plate for protection against lightning strike currents.The grounding plate is made of an electrically conductive material and is attached to themetallic drain tube in such manner (e.g., welding) that a conductive path is established

between the grounding plate and the drain tube. The grounding plate is placed incontact with the aircraft fuselage during installation of the drainmast whereby anelectrically conductive path is formed thereby allowing lightning strike currents to travelfrom the drain tube to the grounding plate to the aircraft fuselage. The grounding platemay be pressed against the outside surface of the fuselage by an elastomeric gasketinstalled between the grounding plate and a flange of the drainmast's fairing therebyallowing for a simple lightning protection installation from the outside of the aircraft.
