ABSTRACT:
An axial flow fan blade (11) having an enhanced tip (12, 12') to reduce or eliminate tip vortices and therefore vortex induced noise. The enhancement is a rounded body extending from the blade tip and having faired ends (15, 16) but otherwise a generally circular cross section. The body conforms to the contour of the tip and extends from the leading to the trailing edge of the blade. The body may have either a generally constant cross section (12) or a cross section that decreases from its leading to its trailing end (12' ).
