What will happen if the thunder hit the plane?

Assume a plane flies on the sky and suddenly it is hit by a thunder. Will the plane be damaged by thunder or it will just store the charges?What will happen if the thunder hit the plane?Since an airplane acts as a conductor, it has a tendency to resist having an electric field on the inside of it. The wings are connected so that electricity doesn't arc through the cabin, and the lightning bolt otherwise continues down to the ground. If the wings aren't connected, then there will be an explosive result...What will happen if the thunder hit the plane?An aircraft hit by lighning is mainly unaffected. There may be a bit of metal damage at the point the lightning hits, and the point it exits (to the ground).

An aircraft becomes only a part of the path of lightning, it it not the destination of the lightning. It stores nothing.What will happen if the thunder hit the plane?I don't think thunder can hit a plane maybe you meant lighting.in which case probably nothing as they get hit all the time
