Abstract: A fiber-reinforced composite blank for a fiber-reinforced composite component, in particular for a fiber-reinforced composite component of a wind turbine, comprising a layered construction with a form core consisting of or comprising a form core material, and a fiber layer adjoining the form core, said fiber layer consisting of or comprising a fiber layer material, and a plurality of reinforcing rods introduced into the form core and consisting of or comprising a reinforcing material, wherein the reinforcing material has a higher stiffness than the form core material. In this arrangement, the plurality of reinforcing rods is introduced into the form core at an angle to a form core plane. Furthermore, at least one reinforcing rod of the plurality of reinforcing rods is introduced into the form core at an angle to a direction orthogonal to the form core plane.
