Is an airplane a Faraday cage?

An aircraft's tubular fuselage acts as a Faraday Cage's as long as its a conductive material like metal. read more

Installing a Faraday cage to isolate the passenger cabin from the avionics would only eliminate one possible noise source. Modern aircraft are full of electric systems, and each of them is a potential source of noise. So aircraft electronics have to be shielded not just from passenger phones, but from each other. read more

Furthermore, the aircraft, just like a car, is shielded by the so-called Faraday Cage, a sort of cage (hence the name) externally made by a conducting material, that blocks out external static electrical fields: charges redistribute on the conduting material and don’t affect the cage’s interior. read more
