The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 2 blade fan "bullet-proof?"

Bob Bidonde · 09-16-2024, 09:28 AM

The original design of the 2-blade fan on the Model A & Model B is a folded sheet metal affair that is inappropriate for a propeller. Moreover, the amount of the original fan's fatigue life that has been expended is unknown. I caution all that there is no practical modification / repair that makes the 90+ year-old 2-blade original fan safe!
