Abstract
A propeller fan includes a boss on a rotation axis, and a blade at an outer circumferential portion of the boss. The blade includes a leading edge and a trailing edge. The blade includes a first area, a second area inward of the first area, and third areas outward of the second area. The third areas are located inward and outward of the first area, with the first area interposed between the third areas. The first area, the second area and the third areas each include at least one notch in the trailing edge. The notches satisfy the relationship “P1>P2>P3”, where P1 is the width of the notch in the first area, P2 is the width of the notch in the second area, and P3 is the width of the notch in each of the third areas.
