A tube arrangement includes a composite tube defining a centerline axis, wherein the composite tube comprises a proximal surface and a distal surface, and an end fitting comprising a first end disposed within the composite tube and a second end extending from the composite tube, wherein an outer surface of the end fitting defines a flared portion defining a terminus of the first end, a lobe portion disposed axially from the flared portion, and a terminating portion disposed axially from the lobe portion, the proximal surface conforms to a geometry of the outer surface of the end fitting, the lobe portion and the flared portion mechanically lock the end fitting to the composite tube to mitigate movement of the end fitting relative to the composite tube.
