A composite driveshaft includes a body having a first end, a second end, and an intermediate portion defining a driveshaft axis (DSA). The first end defines a first coupling region and the second end defines a second coupling region. At least one of the first and second coupling regions defines a virtual hinge configured to accommodate both bending moments and axial changes of the body.
