An aircraft includes a structure with structural elements () that are assembled to form a three-dimensional framework to which an aerodynamic envelope () is attached. At least some structural elements () are at least partly metallic and&#x2014;at the connection with the aerodynamic envelope ()&#x2014;including an interface that is made of material that has a conductivity that is below a threshold on the order of 10,000 S/m so as to form at least one electrical path that ensures the functions of electric return and metallization of the electrical systems, whereby connections that ensure the electrical conduction are provided between the structural elements ().
