A composite airfoil having a non-metallic leading edge protective wrap is provided. In one aspect, the airfoil has a composite core having a pressure sidewall and a suction sidewall each extending between a core leading edge and a core trailing edge. A leading edge protective wrap protects the core leading edge and includes a trailing wrap and a leading wrap. The trailing wrap wraps around the core leading edge and is connected to the composite core. The leading wrap wraps around the core leading edge and is connected to the trailing wrap. The trailing and leading wraps both have leading edges that are spaced from one another. A filler is positioned between the leading edges of the trailing and leading wraps. A protective nose is connected to the leading edge of the leading wrap. The components of the leading edge protective wrap are formed of non-metallic materials.
