Abstract

A method for manufacturing a fiber-reinforced hollow structural component includes introducing a mold core and fibers with a matrix material into a molding tool. A first fiber unit is located between the mold core and the molding tool to at least partially form a component wall. The matrix material is cured to form the hollow structural component and the mold core is flushed out of the hollow structural component to form a component cavity. At least one channel may extend through the mold core so that after the matrix material has cured and the mold core has been flushed out, a reinforcing strut is formed. A related hollow structural component is also disclosed.
