A rotor blade is provided that includes an airfoil extending spanwise from a base to a tip. The airfoil extends longitudinally (e.g., chordwise) from a leading edge to a trailing edge. The airfoil extends laterally between a first side and a second side. The airfoil includes a body and a weight. The body includes a plurality of body layers. Each of the body layers includes fiber reinforcement within a body thermoplastic matrix. The weight includes a weight layer embedded within the body. The weight layer includes metal powder within a weight thermoplastic matrix.
