The leading edge of the fan blade is no longer a single, solid line. The sine-wave design creates leading edges that cut through the air first. This starts movement in the air around the blade with greater efficiency.
The wave surface of the blades creates channels for the air to move along, producing more airflow and reducing energy losses.
The wave surface forms a winglet at the tip of the blade, further increasing efficiency by reducing air vortices.
The trailing edge of the fan blade also has variations, which reduces wind noise.

Description
The revolutionary, patent-pending Flex-Wave electric fan from Flex-A-Lite has greater airflow, is more efficient and is quieter than traditional S-blade and straight-blade designs. The Flex-Wave fan moves up to 20 percent more airflow than Flex-A-Lite Trimline fans, and up to 25 percent more airflow than the comparable electric fans from the competitors! This reversible 12-inch Flex-Wave fan moves 1, 325 cfm of airflow. More than having just a different look, the Flex-Wave electric-fan blade has several aerodynamic advantages for air movement. Converting from a belt-driven fan to a Flex-A-Lite electric fan frees up wasted horsepower and increases gas mileage. When used as an auxiliary fan, these units will provide additional cooling.
