    Unidirectional Carbon Tube as Control System Rod

    Some long control system rod sizes are limited by Euler column stability which is directly related to the stiffness of the rod. Unidirectional carbon tube is a good fit for this application because of its anisotropy and high stiffness. This gives it the potential to reduce control system weight and complexity. Have anyone seen such an application? What are the you-need-to-know caveats in design and construction?
