They have static discharge wicks to let the lightning pass through. Newer carbon aircraft integrate copper mesh to conduct the current through the hull. The aircraft must be flyable following a strike, the ones I worked on were basically only able to protect the crew and land safely in that event. After that, it was expected the aircraft would be fully torn down, inspected, and rebuilt.
