An airfoil component assembly for an aircraft includes an additively manufactured flyaway tool including an infill support core and an interface sheet surrounding the infill support core, a spar formed from one or more layers of composite material disposed on the interface sheet of the flyaway tool and a skin formed from one or more layers of composite material disposed on the spar and the interface sheet of the flyaway tool. The flyaway tool, the spar and the skin form the airfoil component assembly for use by the aircraft in flight.
