A shaft component, which in particular can be connected or is connected to the input or output side of a gear box in a gas turbine engine, wherein the shaft component has at least two regions comprising fiber reinforced plastic, with fibers and/or their matrix in the at least two regions differing in their composition, their geometric properties, their density, their radial position, their axial position and/or in their fiber orientation in the shaft component.
A method for producing a shaft component, which can be connected or is connected to the input or output side of a gear box in a gas turbine engine, wherein fibers are incorporated in a matrix, the fibers and/or their matrix being incorporated in the shaft component so that in at least two regions differ in their composition, their geometric properties, their density, their radial position, their axial position and/or in their fiber orientation in the shaft component.
