Aircraft wing composite ribs (100, 600) having electrical grounding paths (314, 316) are described. An example composite rib includes a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) panel (102), a metallic rib post (306, 308), a metallic fitting (108,110), and a metallic grounding member (106). The metallic rib post (306, 308) is coupled to the CFRP panel and configured to be coupled to a spar (302, 304) of an aircraft wing (300), the spar being coupled to a current return network (CRN) cable (310, 312). The metallic fitting (108, 110) is coupled to the CFRP panel and configured to be coupled to a skin panel (402, 404) of the aircraft wing. The metallic grounding member (106) is positioned between the CFRP panel and the metallic fitting. The metallic grounding member provides an electrical grounding path (314, 316) extending from the metallic fitting to the metallic rib post. CCq coo CC oo• ooO
