Abstract
A composite aerofoil vane for a gas turbine engine extends in use in a generally radial direction across an axially- and circumferentially-extending annular duct. The vane comprises a plurality of first reinforcing fibers extending in a generally radial direction and a plurality of second reinforcing fibers extending in generally axial and circumferential directions. The second fibers are interlaced with the first fibers so as to form a more unified and integrated structure, and to prevent the first reinforcing fibers from moving relative to one another.
