Abstract
A ceiling fan or similar air-moving device can include a motor for rotating one or more blades to drive a volume of air about a space. The blade can include a body having an outer surface with a flat top surface and a flat bottom surface, and a side edge. A performance feature can be included in the body to improve efficiency. Due to manufacturing distortions, an offset can exist between the performance feature and other parts of the body. A transition portion can be formed at the offsets to remedy inefficiencies resultant of these distortions.
