Abstract

A drive shaft is described comprising a tubular component (12) of wound fibre composite form, the component (12) including a cylindrical section (14) in which the wall of the component is of cylindrical form and extends in a direction parallel to the axis of the drive shaft (12), the component (12) further including a bellows shaped section (16), wherein the fibre winding angle of the fibres in the cylindrical section (14) is different to the winding angle of the fibres in at least part of the bellows shaped section (16). Also described are methods and an apparatus for use in the manufacture or fabrication of such a drive shaft.
