A study of the aircraft skin current and charge is made for an aircraft under the illumination of the electromagnetic field produced by a nuclear EMP simulator. This work is motivated by the need to relate the response of an aircraft in the EMP simulator to the response of an aircraft under actual EMP illumination. The analysis toward a specific EMP simulator at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico; however, the methodology presented is applicable to other types of simulator facilities.
