Method for placing electrical conductors interior to a composite structure prior to curing

A composite structure with enhanced electrical conduction, comprising:

• (a) a laminate stack comprised of:
• (1) one or more composite layers, wherein the composite layers are pre-impregnated with a resin, and
• (2) one or more electrical conductors and one or more electrical insulators deposited on at least one of the composite layers, wherein the at least one of the composite layers is an uncured composite layer;
• (b) wherein the laminate stack, including the composite layers, the electrical conductors and the electrical insulators, is a cured laminate stack.

An aircraft with enhanced electrical conduction, comprising:

• a composite structure comprised of:
• (a) a laminate stack comprised of:
• (1) one or more composite layers, wherein the composite layers are pre-impregnated with a resin, and
• (2) one or more electrical conductors and one or more electrical insulators deposited on at least one of the composite layers, wherein the at least one of the composite layers is an uncured composite layer pre-impregnated with the resin;
• (b) wherein the laminate stack, including the composite layers, the electrical conductors and the electrical insulators, is a cured laminate stack.
