Abstract

A blower wheel comprises a hub, a guide and blades extending radially between the hub and the guide, each blade comprising a root at its junction with the hub and a head at the junction with the guide, each blade having a leading edge and a trailing edge between which, at each flattened cross section, a chord is defined. For each blade, between the root and the head, the length of the chord varies and the variation in the length of chord between the root and the head has a point of inflexion between two levels.
