A structural part (10) for lightning strike protection, preferably of an aircraft is described. The structural part (10) comprises a first structure element (12), wherein the first structure element (12) comprises a conducting material and is adapted to conduct electric currents into a grounded conducting airframe structure, and a second structure element (14), wherein the second structure element (14) comprises an outer layer with a first surface (16), wherein the outer layer comprises a composite, preferably carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, CFRP or glass-fibre reinforced plastic GFRP. The structural part (10) further comprises a first elongated, preferably wedge-shaped, electrical conductor (18), with a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the first elongated electrical conductor (18) is connected to the first structure element (12) and extends through the second structure element (14) to the first surface (16), so that the second end of the first elongated electrical conductor (18) serves as a lightning receptor without impairing the radar cross section of the aircraft.
