Its main elements are the fuselage, hub, wings and engine. Axial fans cannot produce as high pressure as centrifugal fans. In addition, it is not as flexible as centrifugal fans in terms of flow, pressure and height positioning, protection of the motor from the fluid. They are simpler and cheaper, their efficiency is up to 75%, but it can be increased to 85% by placing guide vanes on the flow side.

Axial fans are faster and easier to install. It provides high efficiency due to its direct coupled drive system. It is low cost compared to radial fans.
