A solid laminate stringer includes a base segment that forms a first generally trapezoidal cross section. The solid laminate stringer also includes a transition segment abutting the base segment, with concave sides that are continuous with the sides of the base segment. The solid laminate stringer also includes a top segment abutting the transition segment, where the top segment forms a second generally trapezoidal cross section with sides that are continuous with the concave sides of the transition segment. The solid laminate stringer may also include a first overwrap layer covering the top segment, the transition segment, and at least a portion of the base segment. The solid laminate stringer may also include a second overwrap layer overlapping at least a portion of the first overwrap layer covering the base segment.
