A hybrid beam for support of a nacelle panel of a jet engine is disclosed. The beam is comprised of a first longitudinal composite panel and a second longitudinal composite panel, wherein the first longitudinal composite panel is integrally affixed to the second longitudinal composite panel along a longitudinal edge. The composite panels form a composite beam structure that is substantially open with a cross-section that is generally “L-shaped”. A plurality of hinge stations are affixed to a first side of the first longitudinal composite panel and at least one track guide is disposed on a second side of the first longitudinal composite panel. The track guides receive a head portion of a slider that is fixed to the translating jet engine nacelle panel. Each hinge station further comprises a bushing for defining a center of rotation for the jet engine nacelle panel relative to the beam.
