The paper presents an analysis and comparison of basic characteristics of axial fans, both analytically and numerically. Such characteristics are: the characteristics of the total pressure, power and total efficiency as a function of the volumetric flow rate. The presented results showed significant quantitative and qualitative differences in the characteristics obtained by two methods. The usefulness of numerical methods in relation to the results of the initial analytical project was confirmed.
