An open ended question if ever I saw one !!

Give me more details .... type of airplane, type of composite materials,
methods of composite construction used in the forward fuselage, engine type
and weight, type of engine mount etc etc. In particular does the fuselage
have any longerons ???

om...
Can anyone tell me what the best course of action would be to
reinforce a composite firewall so that it can withstand the weight and
stress of an engine being mounted to it? Would support braces be
sufficient? Should I sandwich the composite material with wood,
aluminum, or stainless plates? I would like the lightest possibility,
but it also needs to be very strong and rigid.

Thanks.
