A lightning protection device for an aircraft, includes an anti-corona element taking a rounded shape and having an electrically conductive surface, intended for enveloping an area of the airframe of the aircraft that is liable to receive a lightning strike, one or more electric charge dissipators attached to said anti-corona element.

Lightning protection device for an aircraft, aircraft comprising such a lightning protection device

A method for locating electrostatic discharges occurring on an aircraft in flight including a step of recording, during the flight of the aircraft, electromagnetic signals resulting in the electrostatic discharges and received by a plurality of detectors arranged at different places on an exterior surface of the aircraft, a step of analyzing the signals recorded during the flight, each of the signals, received by the various detectors and corresponding to one and the same electrostatic discharge, are processed to identify at least one zone of an exterior surface of the aircraft, determining a structural part in which the electrostatic discharge probably occurred.

A diffractive device for fitting to a fa&#xe7;ade of a building, or to any other reflective wall, exposed to electromagnetic radiation emitted by a source located at a distance from the building, the device including a plurality of tubular resonant elements arranged on the fa&#xe7;ade of the building, where the resonant elements are arranged in a substantially parallel manner on the fa&#xe7;ade of the building in such a way as to form a diffraction grating and are oriented in a substantially perpendicular direction to the plane defined by the propagation vectors of the incident and reflected electromagnetic waves, each resonant element being configured to form an LC resonator capable of re-radiating a wave corresponding to the incident wave affected by a phase shift; the set of resonant elements being arranged in such a way that the incident wave is diffracted in a preferential direction.
