Sure - used to be a chronic problem with commercial aircraft. That said, I
believe the most sensitive computer components (i.e., disk drives) are
protected by filters.
DISCLAIMER - I have no documented information on this - the aircraft issue
is hearsay and the disk-drive part from manufacturers' literature of years
gone by - back when you actually paid real money for disk drives.
