Abstract
The following discussion outlines some of the design problems associated with large fan blades. A discussion of some of the major points arising from the aerodynamic program which initiated the mechanical design and rig test program to support it is included. Some of the general design considerations are briefly covered and the discussion is concluded by considering some of the problems of designing fans with acceptable vibration characteristics and also designing with new materials.
