A complex-shaped, three-dimensional fiber reinforced composite trailing edge structure may be formed by using counteracting pressures applied to a structural lay-up of wetted fibers placed onto pressurizable members to form continuous fore and aft loops. In turn, the loops may be structurally functional to transfer loads from the trailing edge structure to a wing center section. The trailing structure may include may include fillers and/or a metallic insert, wherein the metallic insert may provide a lightening strike capability for the trailing edge structure.
