A fan blade having a body with a dovetail and an airfoil extending radially outwardly. The airfoil includes a pair of skins spaced to form an internal core, which define a pressure side and a suction side, and extending from a radially inner end to a radially outer tip. The core receives a plurality of braided tubes, with the tubes extending with at least a component in a radially outward direction. A fan and an engine are also described.
