This invention is directed to a high damping and damage tolerant flexible opeller assembly and a method for the production thereof. The high damping and damage tolerant flexible propeller has a unitary hub having an axis of rotation and adapted for mounting on a rotatable shaft, multiple spokes extending from the hub portion, each spoke at its tip portion being made of a high density material having the shape that conforms to that of the specific propeller, each spoke at its inner portion from the tip portion to the hub portion being made of multidimensional fibers, the inner portion of each spoke being made of a multidimensional fiber preform being impregnated with a highly viscoelastic matrix material.
