    摘要: Composite components and methods of densifying composite components are provided. For example, a composite component includes a first ply having a first plurality of unidirectional arrays of fiber tows extending in a first direction and a second ply having a second plurality of unidirectional arrays of fiber tows extending in a second direction. A first fluid pathway is defined in the first ply that has a first length greater than a first width, and a second fluid pathway is defined in the second ply that has a second length greater than a second width. The first and second fluid pathways may improve densification of the composite component by improving penetration of a densification fluid in the composite component.
