Abstract
A continuous intersecting braided composite preform including a first member with at least one ply of biased fibers and a second member also with at least one ply of biased fibers. The first member intersects with the second member and passes continuously through the second member such that the biased fibers of the first member are interstitially arranged with respect to the biased fibers of the second member at the intersection.
Claims3
A continuous intersecting structure comprising:
- a resin impregnated and cured braided preform including a frame having at least one ply of biased fibers and a stringer intersecting with said frame, said stringer including at least one ply of biased fibers, said biased fibers of said frame ply interstitially arranged with respect to said biased fibers of said stringer ply at the intersection and passing continuously through the biased fibers of the stringer.
