Continuous intersecting braided composite structure and method of making same

摘要

A continuous intersecting braided composite preform (15) including a first member (18) including at least one ply having biased fibers; a second member (16) including at least one ply having biased fibers; said first member intersecting with said second member, the biased fibers of the first member interstitially arranged with respect to the biased fibers of the second member at the intersection forming a continuous intersection of the first and second members. A method of making such a continuous intersecting braided composite preform.
