The present invention relates to a fan having a plurality of equiangularly spaced, radially extending blades. The spacing provided between adjacent blades is substantially constant along the entire radial length of the blade for increasing a blowing efficiency, while also allowing a mold separation operation along the axial direction during the formation of the fan using a mold. In a case where the blade is a sweep-forward blade, the number of the blades is seven or more and has a sweep-forward angle of the blades between 35 to 45 degrees. Finally, in case where an electric motor for rotating the fan is supported by stays, the number of stay member and the number of blades, which are not evenly dividable by each other, should satisfy a relationship of 2,000
