Zusammenfassung:	A rotor assembly for use in a turbofan engine is provided. The rotor assembly includes an annular spool including a first blade opening defined therein, a first rotor blade configured to be radially inserted through the first blade opening, and a fairing positioned on a radially outer side of the annular spool. The first rotor blade includes a blade portion and a flange portion that extends substantially perpendicularly relative to the blade portion such that the flange portion is positioned on a radially inner side of the annular spool. The fairing is configured to receive a fastener radially inserted through the flange portion and the annular spool such that the first rotor blade is secured to the annular spool.
