ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method of manufacturing a composite panel comprises the steps of: a) Providing a first textile layer (10); b) Applying a first adhesive to at least a portion of the first textile layer (10); c) Placing a plurality of first profiles (11) adjacent to each other onto at least a portion of the first textile layer which has been contacted with the first adhesive, wherein each of the first profiles (11) comprises a foam core (12) and a reinforcement fabric (13) located on the foam core (12) and wherein each of the first profiles (11) is obtained by bonding a respective foam core (12) to a respective pre-formed reinforcement fabric (13); d) Applying a second adhesive to at least a portion of the reinforcement fabrics (13) of the first profiles (11); e) Placing, at least once, at least one second profile (14) between two first profiles (11); and f) Providing a second textile layer (15) onto the at least one second profile (14). The invention also relates to a composite panel obtainable by such a method and to the use of a such a composite panel for the manufacture of rotor blades for wind energy systems, of panels for reefer containers or of panels for trailers.
