Abstract:
An electric conduction structure for conducting and diverting electric current from a vane main body of an cutlet guide vane into en exterior support structure is comprised of: a sheath of a metal covering a leading edge of the vane main body; and an electrically conductive pad of the metal comprising a contact portion so dimensioned as to have an overlap with an end of the sheath, and a washer portion into which a bolt for being tightened into the support structure is insertable, wherein any joints of a weld, a spot-weld, a solder, a bond by an electrically conductive paste and a crimp establish connection between the end of the sheath and the contact portion.
