Abstract: A high strength plastic tube and connector combination wherein the plastic material is short carbon-fiber resin, such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK), which is extruded to form the tube with an axially extending matrix of internal support walls to form a plurality of passageways; and the connector is formed by injection molding with a short cylindrical section having a similar matrix of reinforcing walls, but with axially ending projections from its end or ends, which projections are shaped to fit slideably into the passageways at the end of the tube, to be secured therein by a structural aircraft adhesive.
