ABSTRACT:
A turbofan gas turbine engine fan stage having alternating relatively rugged, preferably hollow titanium, blades and staggered relatively less rugged, preferably composite, blades. The blades are staggered such that the leading edges of the rugged titanium blades are positioned forward of the leading edges of the less rugged composite blades. One embodiment provides that all fan blades have trailing edges at the same axial position while another embodiment provides that all fan blades are of the same size and shape.
