Composite strut

A composite strut, comprising:

• a first end opposite a second end separated by a strut distance along a longitudinal axis, the first end defining a first aperture and the second end defining a second aperture;
• a compression block extending along the longitudinal axis disposed between the first aperture and the second aperture, the compression block defining a top side opposite a bottom side disposed between a right side opposite a left side;
• a tension strap comprising a first continuous fiber reinforced plastic composite wrapped repeatedly around the first aperture, along the top side of the compression block, around the second aperture and along the bottom side of the compression block at least two times, wherein fibers of the tension strap are oriented extending parallel to the longitudinal axis between the first and second apertures;
• an overwind comprising a second continuous fiber reinforced plastic composite wrapped repeatedly around the first continuous fiber reinforced plastic composite and the compression block between the first end and second end at least two times, wherein fibers of the overwind are oriented extending around the longitudinal axis;
• a left side filler block extending parallel to the longitudinal axis between the first and the second apertures and being disposed between the compression block and the overwind on the left side of the compression block, the left side filler block in cross section along the longitudinal axis defining a left side chord length adjacent to the left side of the compression block, the left side chord length opposite a left side curvature;
• a right side filler block extending parallel to the longitudinal axis between the first and the second apertures and being disposed between the compression block and the overwind on the right side of the compression block, the right side filler block in cross section along the longitudinal axis defining a right side chord length adjacent to the left side of the compression block, the right side chord length opposite a right side curvature;
• wherein the compression block, the tension strap, the left side filler block, the right side filler block and the overwind utilize a common base resin;
• and
• wherein the composite strut does not comprise a metal part.
