Abstract

A ridge structural part made of laminated composite material incorporates electrically conducting cables, the structural part includes at least two structural layers including fibers held in place by a thermosetting or thermoplastic matrix, at least one conducting network layer located between two of the at least two structural layer, the at least one conducting network layer including a network of electrically conducting cables, said electrically conducting cables being arranged throughout said structural part in a substantially regular manner and being electrically insulated from said two structural layers by a dielectric material. The structural part also includes electrical connections, to which electrically conducting cables of the at least one network layer are electrically connected so as to form an electrical network by assembling several structural parts.
