A hybrid airfoil according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a leading edge portion made of a first material, a trailing edge portion made of a second material, and an intermediate portion between the leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion made of a non-metallic material. A rib is disposed between the leading edge portion and the intermediate portion. A protrusion of one of the rib and the intermediate portion is received within a pocket of the other of the rib and the intermediate portion.
