Although the triggering of lightning to ground stations using wire-trailing rockets has become somewhat routine, it has not yet been proven that free-flying aircraft trigger lightning. However, there is substantial evidence that aircraft are somehow involved in the initiation of the strikes which they experience. This paper reviews the evidence and arguments for aircraft-triggered lightning. The triggering mechanisms which have been suggested are discussed in light of ground-based triggering experience and recent flight data related to weather conditions and discharge parameters associated with strikes in aircraft. Some conclusions are drawn about the probable characteristics of aircraft-triggered lightning and the implications of triggering in aircraft safety.
