A splice seam for joining various sections of fabric together is
disclosed, wherein the fabric sections are initially delaminated into
their constituent plies. The plies associated with each fabric section
are then interleaved with each other, and bonded together. The amount of
surface area between each interleaved plies can be adjusted as so as to
achieve a desired level of load carrying strength between the fabric
sections. Additionally, the splice seam may utilize an external and/or
internal seam tape to increase the strength of the resultant seam.
