Abstract
An exterior structure component for an aircraft with an illuminating device includes a structure with an interior side and an exterior surface with at least one illuminated region and a multitude of optical fibers that extend from the interior side to the at least one illuminated region of the exterior surface. The optical fibers end on the interior side of the exterior structure component in a common interface area that is couplable to an illuminating device. The structure is made from a fiber composite material in which the optical fibers are integrated. In this manner a particularly weight-saving illuminating device that is capable of withstanding external influences may be provided.
