[0002] In order to improve the ratio of the aero-engine can promote thrust, reduce noise and unit thrust oil consumption, so in recent years, the ratio of various commercial turbofan engine continues to increase. The main thrust of large-bypass-ratio turbofan engine comes from the cold air flowing through the outer duct. To meet the larger bypass ratio, a larger size fan must be used. However, the fan section mass accounts for about 30%-35% of the total engine mass. Reducing the fan section mass is a key means to reduce the overall engine mass and improve engine efficiency. Therefore, using larger and lighter fan blades has become a development trend for turbofan engines.

[0003] Although the existing metal material has strong impact resistance, the overall weight of the blade is large, and the purpose of weight reduction cannot be achieved. The impact resistance of the blade made of pure composite material blade is poor. To improve the impact resistance of the composite material blade, a metal reinforcing edge is usually bonded to the leading edge of the composite material fan blade to resist the suction of sand or birds encountered during engine operation. However, the metal reinforcing edge and the composite material blade are two different materials, which are difficult to bond together, and the processing cost is high. Therefore, the utility model provides a new solution. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
