A fan for a turbine engine having a core air flowpath and a bypass air flowpath. The fan includes a disk, a plurality of fan blades, and a plurality of splitter blades. The disk rotates about a centerline axis. The plurality of fan blades are coupled to the disk. The plurality of splitter blades are coupled to the disk and positioned between the plurality of fan blades. The plurality of splitter blades are axially aligned on the disk at a splitter blade axial distance from an annular inlet of the core air flowpath such that the plurality of splitter blades direct debris that passes through the fan into the bypass air flowpath.
