A busbar for an aircraft with at least two conductive layers and at least three insulating layers. The conductive layers and the insulating layers are stacked together alternatingly and extend in a longitudinal direction. The conductive layers and the insulating layers include different coefficients of thermal expansion. Each of the conductive layers includes spatial structures. Each spatial structure is connected to an adjacent one by an interconnecting segment. Each conductive layer is embedded between two insulating layers, resulting in a deforming of the side walls of the spatial structures under heat, thereby compensating a longitudinal expansion of the conductive layers. Further, an aircraft with a disclosed busbar and a method of producing such busbar is provided.
