Abstract
A composite structure includes a composite member and a fastener. The composite member has a through hole. The fastener is inserted in the through hole and couples the composite member and another part to each other. The composite member includes an electrically-conductive composite member provided at least in part or all of a through-hole portion. The through-hole portion is a portion, of the composite member, having the through hole. The electrically-conductive composite member has a thickness that is greater in a portion, of the electrically-conductive composite member, included in the through-hole portion than in a portion, of the electrically-conductive composite member, other than the through-hole portion.
