Abstract
A blade includes an airfoil portion including a pressure surface and a suction surface each extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge along a spanwise direction, and at least one communication hole extending m the airfoil portion and having a first and a second opening end opening to the pressure and suction surface, respectively. The first opening end is located on a first cross-section perpendicular to the spanwise direction at a first position in the spanwise direction, the second opening end is located on a second cross-section perpendicular to the spanwise direction at a second position in the spanwise direction, and a dimensionless blade chord length position of the first opening end with respect to the leading edge on the first cross-section is larger than a dimensionless blade chord length position of the second opening end with respect to the leading edge on the second cross-section.
