Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a structural component made of a composite material and constituting part of an aircraft, the method comprising: a first step of attaching at least one conductive member to a surface of a base material made of the composite material; and a second step of carrying out at least one of forming the base material by conducting electricity to part or the whole of the conductive member to generate heat and making an assembly of the structural component by conducting electricity to part or the whole of the conductive member to generate heat, wherein part or the whole of the conductive member attached to an outer surface of the structural component produced through the first and second steps serves as a member giving to the aircraft at least one of a lightning strike protection function, an anti-icing and deicing function and an electromagnetic interference shielding function.
