Abstract:
Composite components having a T or L-shaped configuration that include features that reduce void defects between abutting laminate portions and provide improved mechanical properties are provided. Methods for forming such components are also provided. In one exemplary aspect, a composite component defines a first direction and a second direction and includes a wedged-shaped noodle at a joint interface between an abutting first laminate portion extending along the first direction and a second laminate portion extending along the second direction. The noodle has a first surface that is angled with respect to the second direction. At least one of the plies of the second laminate portion terminate and attach to the angled first surface of the noodle.

Claim (Index 2):
The composite component of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of plies of the second laminate portion that terminate and are attached to the noodle along the first surface have successively different lengths such that the plurality of plies terminate and attach to the first surface in a staggered arrangement.
