Abstract

A method of forming a composite structure (50) can include providing a plurality of composite panels (10) of material, each composite panel (10) having a plurality of holes (26) extending through the panel. An adhesive layer (30) is applied to each composite panel (10) and an adjoining layer (40) is applied over the adhesive layer (30). The method also includes stitching the composite panels (10), adhesive layer (30), and adjoining layer (40) together by passing a length of a flexible connecting element (58) into the plurality of holes (26) in the composite panels (10). At least the adhesive layer (30) is cured to bond the composite panels (10) together and thereby form the composite structure (50).
