Helical textile with uniform thickness

A helical textile having a substantially uniform thickness comprising:

• a plurality of circumferential warp fibers defining a radial textile width from a textile inner diameter to a textile outer diameter, the plurality of circumferential warp fibers extending substantially in a first fiber direction;
• a plurality of weft fibers inserted in a weft region between the textile inner diameter and the textile outer diameter and extending substantially in a second fiber direction along a weft fiber axis, the weft fiber axis having a predefined angle greater than zero degrees and less than ninety degrees with respect to a radial axis;
• and
• a plurality of knitted chain stitches securing the plurality of weft fibers to the plurality of circumferential warp fibers;
• wherein the plurality of circumferential warp fibers and the plurality of weft fibers are non-interlaced, thereby forming a helical textile having a substantially uniform thickness from the textile inner diameter to the textile outer diameter;
• and
• wherein the plurality of circumferential warp fibers change between a first hoop position at a first textile radius and a second hoop position at a second textile radius.
