I do not really know, but it is noticable in the history of the airscrew (Propellor) on aircraft that they started with two blades, WW1, and then had 3 by WW2. By the end of WW2 4 bladed propellors were sometimes used. Now there are more variants still and of course Jet engines use many many vanes to propell the air into them. Another answer There would be multiple factors for deciding this. There are different fans and propellers that are designed for their specific used - does it want high velocity, like you might find in a plane? A regular three-blade fan is meant to go fast (for it's size). Here are some of the factors considered when designing a fan: -maximising energy output. Too many blades, and the fan is going to have to use more power to turn them. Too few, and it wont push enough air through. -optimising construction for production. Many blades is going to cost more. -having the most aerdynamic design. -minimising noise

Why lot of dust is sticking to the wings of fan in a room?

Dust collects in closed areas and can often build up around the baseboards and on surfaces in a room. When there is airflow in a room, dust particles are sent airborne and land on many surfaces, including fan wings or blades.


What is the energy transfer for a solar powered fan?

Solar energy is converted into electrical energy by the solar panel, which powers the fan's motor. The electrical energy from the solar panel is transferred to the motor of the fan, which then converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy to rotate the blades and produce airflow.


According to Wilbur Wright what were the three elements of a flying machine?

According to Wilbur Wright, the three essential elements of a flying machine are a system for maintaining equilibrium and stability, a method of propulsion, and a structure that is both lightweight and strong.


Do aircraft wings move up and down?

Aircraft wings can move up and down as part of the normal operation of the aircraft. This movement helps to control the flight of the aircraft by adjusting the lift and drag forces acting on the wings. The wings can also move as part of the aircraft's flaps and slats system to change the wing's shape for takeoff and landing.


How did the ornithopter work?

An ornithopter works by flapping its wings or surfaces to generate lift and thrust, mimicking the flight of birds. The wings move in a motion similar to that of a bird's wings to produce the necessary aerodynamic forces for flight.
