    Abstract: Stringers and aircraft skin structures and related methods are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a skin structure and a support. The support includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a tapered edge extending from the first surface. The example apparatus includes a first material disposed between a first portion of the support and a first portion of the skin structure to couple the second surface of the support to the skin structure and a second material disposed between a second portion of the support and a second portion of the skin structure. The second material is different than the first material. The second portion of the support includes at least a portion of the tapered edge.

    Abstract: A composite structure is provided. The composite structure includes a first stiffener, a second stiffener, and an intermediate structure positioned between the first and second stiffeners such that the first stiffener is coupled to a first side of the intermediate structure, and such that the second stiffener is coupled to a second opposing side of the intermediate structure. A first radius gap is defined at least partially between the first stiffener and the intermediate structure, and a second radius gap is defined at least partially between the second stiffener and the intermediate structure.

    Abstract: A structure has a net-area-tension fastener pattern formed in the skin panel for receiving fasteners defining a net-area-tension joint for coupling a component attach fitting of a component to the skin panel. The net-area-tension fastener pattern includes two or more rows of fastener holes, including a first row and a last row. Each row is oriented generally perpendicular to a primary load direction of a load that the component is capable of exerting on the skin panel. The first row is located upstream of the last row relative to the primary load direction. The fastener holes in the first row and the last row are respectively the smallest and the largest in the net-area-tension fastener pattern. The rows are spaced apart at a spacing ratio of hole spacing to hole diameter. The spacing ratio of the first row is greater than the spacing ratio of the last row.

    Abstract: Described herein are stringer assemblies, such as blade stringers, and methods of forming thereof. A stringer assembly comprises a first fabric composite stiffener, a second fabric composite stiffener, and an intermediate tape composite stiffener, disposed between and connected to each of the first and second stiffeners. Using three separate components allows forming sharp bends, eliminating voids and gap fillers, and adding new features, such as edge reinforcements. Each of the first and second fabric composite stiffeners comprises a web portion, a flange portion, and a curved portion, positioned between the web and flange portions. The web portions surround and are attached to the intermediate tape composite stiffener and, in some examples, include tapered-out edges for additional rigidity. The flange portions are attached to the composite base. The curved portions conform to the flared-out edges of the intermediate tape composite stiffener, which extends and connects to the composite base.
