Abstract
An improved fiber composite including a first layer (18) having a plurality of elongate flexible fabric segments (16) for laying up on and conforming to an elongate irregularly shaped temporary support (10) to substantially cover support (10) and a plurality of continuous yarns (b 17) extending substantially the length of support (10). A second layer (26) includes a continuous yarn (20) wound peripherally upon the first layer (18) and oriented substantially orthogonally with the longitudinal yarns (17) of first layer (18). A method for manufacturing the fiber composite is also provided.
