A system comprising a low observable aircraft (2) having its surfaces oriented at a limited number of directions, and a lightning diverter strip (4, 22, 30) comprising a plurality of electrically conductive elements (8, 24, 32) arranged in a spaced apart relation, each of the electrically conductive elements (8, 24, 32) comprising an elongate portion. The lightning diverter strip (4, 22, 30) is attached to the aircraft in such a way that the conductive elements (8, 24, 32) are located on an exposed outer surface of the lightning diverter strip (4, 22, 30) and exposed to atmospheric conditions. For each conductive element (8, 24, 32), a long axis of the elongate portion of that conductive element (8, 24, 32) is substantially parallel with a surface of the aircraft.
