Abstract

A fan rotor blade includes a blade body made from a composite material of a resin and fibers, and having a pressure surface and a suction surface. A dovetail capable of being fitted into a fitting groove in a fan disk is provided in a base end of the blade body. The blade body is provided with a sheath. The sheath is more rigid than the blade body and is fixed to the blade body in a state where the sheath covers a leading edge portion of the blade body and the vicinity thereof. The sheath extends in the longitudinal direction of the blade body from a blade root side to a tip end side of the blade body, and a base end portion of the sheath located on the blade root side of the blade body extends to the dovetail.
