A lightning induction system includes a plurality of flight vehicles 3 that fly between a lightning originating point 1 in the sky where lightning is generated and a ground surface 2. The flight vehicles 3 each include: a flight unit 10 that generates lift force and propulsion force; a conductor cable 20 that is engaged with the flight unit 10, extends downward, and has a predetermined length; and a weight unit 30 connected to the lower end of the conductor cable 20. The flight unit 10 is disposed in a Faraday cage 11. The Faraday cage 11 has a sphere shape, and the flight unit 10 is fixed by a support pillar 12 extending downward from the inner side of the top of the sphere.
