Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a boron reinforced composite structural member. The concepts and technologies illustrated in this disclosure are taught within the context of a boron reinforced aircraft keel. A boron reinforced composite structural member may be constructed of a structural member core and a surrounding structural member casing. In one embodiment, the structural member core includes alternating layers of boron fiber reinforced plies and layers of interior carbon fiber reinforced plies. The boron fiber reinforced plies are oriented in a longitudinal direction, and the interior carbon fiber reinforced plies are oriented diagonally, perpendicular, and parallel to the boron fiber reinforced plies. The structural member casing includes layers of exterior carbon fiber reinforced plies that substantially surround the structural member core.
