Fiber reinforced composite structures having curved stepped surfaces are fabricated by laying up plies of fiber reinforced material over a tool having a stepped tool feature. The plies are rotated about a fixed axis as they are laid up to substantially form a fixed axis rosette pattern. The plies are angularly oriented such that at least certain of the plies have fiber orientations other than 0, +45, −45 and 90 degrees. Potential bridging of the fibers over the stepped tool features is reduced or eliminated by cutting slits in the plies in the area of the stepped features, so that the plies can be fully compacted.

1. A fiber reinforced composite structure fabricated by a method of fabricating a structure for an aircraft, wherein the structure includes a curved joggle surrounding a central opening, comprising the steps of: laying up a plurality of plies over a tool such that corresponding axes of fiber orientations for the plies radiate substantially from a fixed point, the tool having a curved stepped tool surface for forming the curved joggle in the structure, a curvature of the stepped tool surface comprising a compound curvature including an S-shaped curvature in a direction substantially parallel to a direction of a step comprising the curved stepped tool surface, and the plurality of plies comprising a composite material;forming corresponding slits in corresponding areas of each of the plies where fibers in the plies cross and bridge the curved joggle such that, for each of the corresponding slits, a given slit is oriented in a direction perpendicular to a corresponding given axis of orientation of fibers for a corresponding given ply;forming the structure by compressing the plurality of plies on the tool with a pinch plate and a plug; and,consolidating the plurality of plies. 2. The fiber reinforced composite structure of claim 1, wherein, in the method, forming the corresponding slits includes forming the slits in each of the plies beginning at an edge of the curved stepped tool surface. 3. The fiber reinforced composite structure of claim 1, wherein, in the method, forming the corresponding slits includes forming the slits in the plies at the curved stepped tool surface. 4. The fiber reinforced composite structure of claim 1, wherein, in the method, forming the corresponding slits includes orienting the plies relative to each other such that the corresponding slits are angularly spaced from each other. 5. The fiber reinforced composite structure of claim 1, wherein, in the method, laying up the plurality of plies includes orienting at least certain of the plies such that fiber orientations in at least certain plies are disposed at angles other than 0, +45, −45 and 90 degrees. 6. A window frame for an aircraft including a curved joggle surrounding a central opening, the window frame fabricated by a method comprising the steps of: laying up a plurality of plies over a tool such that corresponding axes of fiber orientations for the plies radiate substantially from a fixed point, the tool having a curved stepped tool surface for forming the curved joggle in the window frame, a curvature of the stepped tool surface comprising a compound curvature including an S-shaped curvature in a direction substantially parallel to a direction of a step comprising the curved stepped tool surface, and the plurality of plies comprising a composite material;forming corresponding slits in corresponding areas of each of the plies where fibers in the plies cross and bridge the curved joggle such that, for each of the corresponding slits, a given slit is oriented in a direction perpendicular to a corresponding given axis of orientation of fibers for a corresponding given ply;forming the window frame by compressing the plurality of plies on the tool with a pinch plate and a plug; and,consolidating the plurality of plies. 7. The window frame of claim 6, wherein, in the method, forming the corresponding slits includes forming the slits in each of the plies beginning at an edge of the curved stepped tool surface. 8. The window frame of claim 6, wherein, in the method, forming the corresponding slits includes forming the slits in the plies at the curved stepped tool surface. 9. The window frame of claim 6, wherein, in the method, forming the corresponding slits includes orienting the plies relative to each other such that the corresponding slits are angularly spaced from each other. 10. The window frame of claim 6, wherein, in the method, laying up the plurality of plies includes orienting at least certain of the plies such that fiber orientations in at least certain plies are disposed at angles other than 0, +45, −45 and 90 degrees.
