An electric resistance element (1) in a device for deicing a wing structure such as the wing of an aircraft or the blades of a helicopter, which includes conducting fibers embedded in a composite fiber structure and power supply wires connected electrically to said conducting fibers. In this element, the conducting fibers are carbon fibers in the form of at least one ribbon (2) in which the fibers are oriented longitudinally, preimpregnated with resin and at least one end of which is fixed in a deformable tubular metal mesh element (3) providing the electric connection by contact with the ribbon and which in turn is soldered to the corresponding power supply wire (4).
