Abstract
A shaft may include a first coupling member, a second coupling member, a filament wound shaft member, and a pilot shaft. The first coupling member may couple the shaft to one of a rotationally driving and a rotationally driven component. The second coupling member may be axially spaced from the first coupling member and may couple the shaft to the other of the rotationally driving and the rotationally driven component. The filament wound shaft member may have a first end fixed to the first coupling member, a second end fixed to the second coupling member, and a body portion extending therebetween. The pilot shaft may be disposed radially within the filament wound shaft member and may extend from the first coupling member to the second coupling member.
