Fire- and electromagnetic interference (EMI)-resistant aircraft components and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. A thermally and electrically conductive coating material layer is formed on at least a portion of an intermediate article comprised of a non-metallic material. The thermally and electrically conductive coating material layer is comprised of a metal. A fire-retardant material layer is cold sprayed on the thermally and electrically conductive coating material layer. At least one continuous electrically conductive element may be integrated with the non-metallic material of the intermediate article.
