Abstract
There is provided a fastener able to prevent damage due to environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays, and impact from sanddust, lumps of ice, and raindrops without obstructing a flow of electric shock current that flows along a top surface of an outer skin. The fastener connects an outer skin of an aircraft to a structural member positioned inside this outer skin, and is provided with a dielectric layer arranged to cover one end surface of a head section, and a conductive layer arranged to cover one end surface of this dielectric layer.
