Abstract
A ventilation blower wheel may have a hub and blades extending radially outwards from the hub between a blade root and a blade tip. Additionally, the blades of said blower wheel may have a backward/forward curvature as a result of a reversal in curvature along their span. Furthermore, said blades may have, between 20% and 80% along their span, at least one pitch variation, extending over a maximum span distance of 25%, of at least 2° more or less than a linear pitch over said span distance.
