This report presents the results of a conceptual study of a helicopter composite truss tail boom. The study included the following tasks: design criteria, material properties, truss design and analysis, manufacturing techniques, and fabrication and ballistic testing. The results of the study indicate that a composite truss is a viable concept for a ballistically tolerant tail boom. (Author)
