Abstract
Specified is a lightning protection layer for an aircraft. The lightning protection layer has a first stratum and a second stratum. The second stratum is coupled to the first stratum along a connecting surface. The first stratum has a metal foil and the second stratum has carbon allotropes. It is thus made possible that damage to a structure of the aircraft by lightning strike is reduced.
Claims13
A lightning protection layer for an aircraft, comprising:
- a first stratum;
- a second stratum, which is coupled with the first stratum along a connecting surface;
- and
- a third stratum which is arranged such that the first stratum is disposed between the second stratum and the third stratum,
- wherein the first stratum has a metal foil,
- wherein the second stratum has at least one two-dimensional flat graphene later,
- wherein the third stratum has at least one two-dimensional flat graphene layer.
