An example lightning strike protection system of an aircraft includes: (i) a capacitor having a predetermined capacity to hold a predetermined quantity of electric charges provided to the capacitor; (ii) a voltage generating device coupled to the capacitor, where as a quantity of electric charges provided to the capacitor exceeds the predetermined capacity of the capacitor, the voltage generating device converts the electric charge stored in the capacitor into a voltage to generate a lightning leader from the aircraft; and (iii) a conductive path embedded in the aircraft to channel a lightning strike induced by a connection of the lightning leader with an oncoming lightning leader therethrough to be discharged away from the aircraft.
