A molded one-piece plastic fan with flexible blades was developed for use in automotive vehicles to provide adequate low-speed cooling and reduced noise and horsepower at high speeds. Development was accomplished through an extensive design, testing, and material selection program. The features of light weight, low cost, and good durability were prime considerations for use of the plastic flex fan on Chevrolet's Vega.
