Lightning protection fastener, aircraft assembly, and method of manufacturing aircraft assembly component

Abstract

A long-life lightning protection fastener or the like to prevent explosion for aircrafts at low cost is provided, the fastener having a light weight, ensuring sufficient lightning protection, and having extremely less failures and high reliability. A ring-shaped ring member 40A made of resin is mounted on a collar 26. This ring member 40A is interposed between a member 22 and the collar 26 and is in intimate contact with both of the member 22 and the collar 26, thereby sealing an interface with the member 22 for sealing and preventing the occurrence of an arc at an outer perimeter edge of the collar 26.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
