Abstract
A cross-flow fan includes a plurality of fan blades. The fan blade has an inner edge portion arranged on an inner circumferential side and an outer edge portion arranged on an outer circumferential side. In the fan blade, a blade surface extending between the inner edge portion and the outer edge portion and constituted of a positive pressure surface and a negative pressure surface is formed. The fan blade has such a blade cross-sectional shape that a large-thickness portion at which a thickness between the positive pressure surface and the negative pressure surface is greatest is arranged closer to the inner edge portion. A recess recessed in the blade surface is formed at a position closer to the inner edge portion where the large-thickness portion is arranged, than to the outer edge portion.
