1. A structural component for an aircraft, comprising:
at least one heatable component section having a layer structure comprising:
an inner base structure,
at least one heating layer having carbon allotropes embedded in a matrix material,
at least one first group of consecutive layers comprising at least one anode layer, at least one first insulating layer, and at least one cathode layer having an electroactive coating, the first group of layers being arranged between the inner base structure and the at least one heating layer, and
at least one protective layer arranged outside the heating layer,
wherein the first group of layers constitute a structural battery, and
wherein the at least one anode layer and the at least one cathode layer are electrically connectable with the heating layer.
