A case body (5a) of a fan case (5) in a jet engine (3) is formed by use of a composite material of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. Metal rings (5b, 5c) are respectively attached to a leading edge and a trailing edge of the case body (5a). The metal rings (5b, 5c) are electrically connected together by a conductive cable (5d). Both of the metal rings (5b, 5c) and the conductive cable (5d) constitute a path of a lightning current.
