Influence of Thunderstorm on Aircraft

When an airplane flies under, near or in a thunderstorm cloud, it may enter a heavy precipitation area. Heavy precipitation will cause the engine to inhale too much water and affect the engine. In the low-altitude landing stage, heavy precipitation will reduce the aircraft performance and affect the pilot's observation and judgment. In addition, the runway surface is slippery due to precipitation, and there have been accidents such as pilots' unclear vision, planes rushing off the runway and even plane crashes.

Thundershower is a weather phenomenon, which is characterized by large-scale cloud movement, much more violent than shower, accompanied by discharge, and is common in summer.

When the small water droplets in the cumulonimbus cloud constantly collide and merge into larger water droplets, they begin to fall, while the hot air rising from the ground keeps rushing upwards, and the friction between them is charged.
