As I have been browsing around for some lift struts for my pacer project, I came across carbon fiber masts for sailboats and have wondered if there has been any tested carbon struts on aircraft and what the most acceptable process to create attachment points to each end. I was originally thinking that one could potentially use milled aluminum or steel blocks attached by bolts, but have read that may create corrosion and weakness around the bolts or rivets. It appears that belite has tested carbon struts on the bench, but I was unable to see the ends. I searched around for other sources but was unable to find anything regarding this.
