Assemblies made of composites are typically installed by fasteners. Composite structures are made of glass fibers or carbon fibers that have glue that bonds it together in an oven. During manufacture of the composite structure, a metal strip or a rib or a bushing will be attached to it that will allow it to be mated to the airplane or other structure. For example: take a complex helicopter rotor blade. These are usually made by winding long fibers along the length of the blade to form the main spar. Then more fibers are wound around this in a spiral trace from one end to the other. Over this a skin is added and a leading edge shield is attached. At the root of the blade, the first fibers that are laid down are usually wrapped around a bushing that becomes the bolt hole for attaching it to the main rotor hub. The tip of the blade is trimmed off and sometimes a tip cap is added.

What is the average volume of an airplane How much space does an airplane fill?
That question has a varied answer. It depends what type of airplane you're asking about
What is composite data type in c?
Composite datatypes are the datatypes which can be constructed with in a program by using prmitive datatypes and other composite types.the act of constructing a composite data type is called composition..............
What did the wright brothers invent .?
They invented the three axis control so the airplane can keeps it's equilibrium while flying. The very first practical AIRPLANE was invented by Wright brothers. They were inspired by the birds and invented this flying machine which can be used by humans in December,1903.
Is 29 a composite number?
29 is not a composite number; it is a prime number.
Is an airplane a compound machine?
The airplane is not considered to be a compound machine. The airplane is actually a complex machine with a large number of separate working parts.

What does a composite have to do with volcanoes?
Stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes are tall conical mountains composed of lava flows and other ejecta in alternate layers, the strata that gives rise to the name. Stratovolcanoes are also known as composite volcanoes because they are created from multiple structures during different kinds of eruptions.
