WIPER COMPOSITE BEAM BLADE WITH INTERNAL WASH TUBE

An aircraft windshield wiper system includes a wiper blade (14) with a composite support member (26) and a blade element that interfaces with the windshield of the aircraft to clear the windshield of rain and other debris. The composite support member (26) includes a wash tube (32) integral with the composite support member (26), such that the wash tube (32) receives windshield washing fluid from a fluid reservoir and dispenses the fluid onto the windshield of the aircraft. A plurality of clips can be used to couple the composite support member (26) to the blade element.
