  • Apparatus and method for an aircraft conductor sandwich assembly embedded to an aircraft structure
    Patent number: 8937254
    Abstract: An aircraft conductor sandwich assembly configured to be embedded in a composite aircraft structure. The conductor sandwich assembly comprises a plurality of carbon conductors disposed between two sheets of insulating layers and an adhesive resin bonding the plurality of carbon conductors and the two sheets of insulating layers into a carbon sandwich assembly such that (i) the conductors are electrically isolated and (ii) structural loads can be passed through said conductor sandwich assembly.
