An airframe component is provided and includes first and second components having respective first and second opposite surfaces and edge portions, the first component defining a plane and the second component being attachable to the first surface of the first component as a protrusion from the plane, a first conductive layer disposed to wrap around the edge portion of the first component from the first surface to the second surface, a second conductive layer disposed on the first surface of the second component to extend beyond the edge portion and an insulation layer interposable between the first and second conductive layers and between a periphery of the first surface of the second component and the second conductive layer.

Airframe component with electrically bonded connections

A method of bonding an electrically conductive silicone gasket includes activating selected surfaces of the electrically conductive silicone gasket, applying a sealant having a corrosion inhibitor to at least a portion of the activated selected surfaces, and curing the sealant to thereby bond the electrically conductive silicone gasket with a substrate.
