<p>A lightning protection applique incorporates a plurality of conductive plies (114a,b,c) adhesively affixed to a composite surface (102), at least a first one of the plies providing conductive characteristics sufficient to divert electrical energy from a lightning strike and at least a second one of the plies comprising operational circuitry. A dielectric ply (112) is fixed to the composite surface over and completely covering at least one metal surface feature between the plurality of conductive plies and the composite surface.</p> |
