Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of manufacturing a carbon composite duct assembly includes providing a first carbon composite fabric layer having a first section. The first section is formed into a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is separately moveable relative to the second portion. The first portion overlaps the second portion to define a first corner of the first carbon composite fabric layer. The first carbon composite fabric layer is formed into at least a portion of a duct extending along an axis.
