Why the number of fan blade are mostly odd numbers?

I imagine it has to do with something about vibration, being asymetric and all. I should know this, let me go tear up my engineering degree.
 
...thats odd.

Ya so? I do that all the time, which is why I look so mart. Google R0x0rs!

Sorry, couldn't resist!

LOL.. Same here plus notfred took my posts out of context. Adding first and second paragraphs together. Next time I will quote source though.🙂 Good one.
 


<< Has someone been possibly borrowing text form this website and not his physics class?

Busted 😛

Oh sh!t! Busted! 😀

That?s called getting it up the arse.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though. 😉

ehh.. never mind
 
I would imagine a standing wave of long wavelengths (like those common to "vibrational noise") would be easier to create in a design which has the blades at exactly opposite positions rather than with some deflection... but I hate the complex physics stuff.
 


<< Also, if they're so unstable, why does almsot every small airplane have a 2 bladed prop on it, and almost every old WWII warbird have a 4 bladed prop on it? >>

I wonder if the two blades on small planes might have to do with the way they were started by hand?
