Composite ring gear with metallic gear insert, and method of forming same

摘要

A composite ring gear (10) with a metallic gear insert (30) has at least one filament (34) wound about the gear insert and an eyelet (32) a plurality of times. The filament is adapted to withstand a portion of a tensile load transmitted between the insert and the eyelet. The insert, eyelet and filament are then embedded in a composite material.
