Abstract: In one aspect, there is a joint member for a composite having a laminate layer including a support member having a first side and a second side; a first flange extending laterally from the first side and having an attachment surface for attachment to a structure; and a second flange extending laterally from the second side and having an attachment surface configured for attachment to the laminate layer. The joint member is configured to provide a load path from the first flange to the second flange. In an embodiment, a joint system for a composite system includes a joint member attached to a first skin and a second skin. In still another embodiment, a joint system for a rib assembly includes a joint member attached to a rib web and rib post.
