1) Forward-curved blades curve in the direction of the fan wheel's rotation on

the other hand Backward-curved blades,curve against the direction of the fan
wheel's rotation.
2) Forward-curved blades provide a low noise level comparitive to Backward-
curved blades because Backward curved blades have high speed relatively to
Forward curved blades for same capacity range
3) Forward-curved blades are good and optimised solution for small air flow
with a high increase in static pressure. On other side Backward curved blades
are good for high pressure, medium flow applications.

My conclusion :- Forward curved fans are an excellent solution for ducted fan
applications with Low pressures-resulting in low first cost & energy, compact
size and low sound.
