Zusammenfassung:A lightweight composite fairing bar ( 14 ) for use in fabricating a composite component ( 16 ) of an aircraft. The fairing bar ( 14 ) includes a core ( 18 ) and an elongated outer shell ( 20 ) surrounding the core ( 18 ). The outer shell ( 20 ) is comprised of a laminate material, and the core ( 18 ) is comprised of epoxy syntactic foam having a lower density than that of the laminate material. The outer shell ( 20 ) is configured for supporting the composite component ( 16 ) during the manufacture of the same.
