Diagram of a fan disk Fan disk assembly diagram, showing one blade and attachment hardware Cross section of fan disk Failed fan disk recovered from the center engine of UAL 232. A fan disk is the central hub of a fan in a turbofan engine. Fan blades are attached to the fan disk, which is rotated by a shaft driven by a gas turbine. [1]
A household electric fan A large cylindrical fan. A fan is a powered machine that creates airflow. A fan consists of rotating vanes or blades, generally made of wood, plastic, or metal, which act on the air. The rotating assembly of blades and hub is known as an impeller, rotor, or runner. Usually, it is contained within some form of housing ...
P&W first attempted to build a production geared turbofan starting around 1998, with the PW8000, [2] targeted for the 25,000–35,000 lbf (110–160 kN) range. This was an upgrade of the existing PW6000 that replaced the fan section with a gear box and a new single-stage fan, which would provide about 90% of the propulsive power of the engine ...
Since then, its use has continued to increase in major applications for both compressors and fan blade rotors. Examples include the Rocketdyne RS-68 rocket engine and the General Electric F110 turbofan. The F-35B variant of the Joint Strike Fighter uses blisks to achieve short take-off and vertical landing.

A kitchen hood, exhaust hood, hood fan, extractor hood, or range hood is a device containing a mechanical fan that hangs above the stove or cooktop in the kitchen.

The turbine blades have a golden colour in this engine cutaway. A turbine blade is a radial aerofoil mounted in the rim of a turbine disc and which produces a tangential force which rotates a turbine rotor. [2] Each turbine disc has many blades. [3] As such they are used in gas turbine engines and steam turbines.
