A method of manufacturing a fiber reinforced composite component. The method comprises providing a pre-cured fiber reinforced composite support structure which comprises a flat area that merges at at least one associated transition area into at least one annexed curved area, wherein the at least one associated transition area comprises at least one slot adapted to provide bending flexibility to the at least one transition area; providing at least one uncured fiber reinforced composite element; and joining the at least one uncured fiber reinforced composite element to the pre-cured fiber reinforced composite support structure by a co-bonding process.
A method of manufacturing a fiber reinforced composite component, comprising:
A horizontal stabilizer of a rotorcraft, comprising a fiber reinforced composite support structure and a fiber reinforced composite element, wherein the fiber reinforced composite support structure comprises a flat area that merges at at least one associated transition area into at least one annexed curved area, wherein the at least one associated transition area comprises at least one slot, and wherein the fiber reinforced composite element forms an outer skin that envelops the fiber reinforced composite support structure.
