I would like to get better understanding about what it takes to connect composite parts to aluminum structure. I'm sure there is correct books to read and videos to watch. What if we build composite wings and need to connect them to steel tube frame? I am curious about connection itself, transition from carbon to metal as example. Do we use rubber bushings? Just like we connect engines to airframe?

In my project at some point I will be connecting composite tail boom to aluminum tube airframe somehow. And yes I will be asking for professional help, but still would like to get some basic understanding of what and how this is usually done.
