Abstract
A method of making a sheet metal fan blade having a flattened mounting pad. The blade is to be attached to a flat spider arm of a fan hub. According to the method, a fan blade blank workpiece of cylindrical stock and of any desired outline (such as rectangular, trapezoidal, etc.) is simultaneously provided with a longitudinally running rib and a flat pad portion by stamping. In this manner, the outline of the blade is not distorted by stamping the cylindrical blank to form the flat mounting pad.
