The fan blades of the high-bypass turbo-fan jet engine typically are fixed. These are the large blades that are visible from the front of the engine and provide 80% of the engine's thrust by pushing air back over the core of the engine. The blades internal to the engine are also fixed but the stators are usually adjustable, depending on the power settings. The stators are the "blades" that protrude into the engine from the outside wall. Why? The fan blades are exposed to a lot of loads and they would be too large and heavy if they were designed to be adjustable. On some engines, the blades have a flange that support each other to almost for a solid ring. I'm not sure about the fan blades on all engines, but the GE CF6 has fan blades that simply slide into a slot; there is not bolt or anything locking it in place. The blades are loose when the engine is not turning. When the fan windmills slowly in the breeze, the blades actually "clank" when the flop from one side to the other as each blade passes over the top.
