An aerofoil component is formed of continuous fibre-reinforced polymer composite created by curing laid up pre-preg layers extending in radial and chordal directions of the aerofoil component, and further includes a plurality of Z-pins arranged in a pattern forming a chevron on the pressure and/or suction surface of the aerofoil component, the chevron having a vertex and two arms extending at an angle from each other away from the vertex either towards the radially inner root of the aerofoil component or towards the radially outer tip of the aerofoil component.
