The paper presents the idea and also static tensile tests and fatigue tests of composite node joints of load-bearing structures. This innovative idea of joints of composite construction is an alternative solution for classical concept of the node joint. Results of tests are very promising. It has been suggested that presented idea of composite node joint could also be applied to use in more complex structures. Composite node joints with kevlar, glass and carbon component has been tested. This idea is patented: (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:P1._COMPOSITE_JOINTS_OF_AEROSTRUCTURES_(Patent_No._173_997)_%E2%80%93_Krzysztof_Kotlinski_&_Marek_Debski.jpg).
