Structural component for an aircraft

Abstract

A structural component for an aircraft includes at least one heatable component portion. The heatable component portion has a layered construction with an inner base structure, a first insulating layer arranged outside the inner base structure, a functional layer of carbon allotropes embedded in a matrix material, which is arranged outside the first insulating layer, and at least one protective layer arranged outside the functional layer. The structural component also includes an electrical connection device connected to the functional layer for selectively applying an electrical current to the functional layer to heat the functional layer.
