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 7):
The composite component of  claim 4 , wherein the noodle comprises a butt surface attached to the first laminate portion of the composite component, and wherein the second laminate portion comprises a retaining ply that extends along the second laminate portion, attaches to and extends along at least a portion of the second surface of the noodle, and then terminates proximate an intersection between the second angled surface and the butt surface.
