A structural development program was recently completed in which the weight and fatigue advantages of an all composite major load carrying bulkhead was successfully demonstrated. Fabrication of a full scale article, including static and fatigue testing of the carry-through beam portion verified the producibility, strength and durability of this design, thereby presenting the opportunity for use on aircraft upgrades and new aircraft. A 15% weight saving is achievable and, more importantly, the fatigue problems that normally plague metal bulkheads are virtually eliminated
