The composites use of the term "co" means simultaneously. Hence: the hat stiffeners are simutaneously cured and simultaneously bonded, into the outerskin. Another way of describing it is that the hat stiffeners were bonded and cured at the same time to the skin. The Hat stiffeners get their name because they resemble a Top Hat in section. Sort of like _/\_ shaped upside down? I showed some pictures to folks here at work, and a couple of folks described my pictures as "innovative" and "clever". I think they're just being nice!
