Abstract
A method of manufacturing a composite component including an outer shell, an inner hub, and a plurality of struts connecting the outer shell and the inner hub. The method includes installing an outer shell hoop preform on a mold tooling structure, installing an inner hub hoop preform on the mold tooling structure, and inserting strut preforms through outer shell strut slots, and through inner hub strut slots. A first end of the strut preform has bifurcated end portions that are overlayed onto the outer shell hoop preform, and a second end of the strut preform has bifurcated end portions that are overlayed onto one of the outer shell hoop preform or the inner hub hoop preform. A matrix material is injected into the mold tooling structure and a curing process is applied to the mold tooling structure to obtain a molded composite component.
