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.
