A coupling portion between a blade main portion and a blade cover is formed in a surface region (pressure surface) parallel to a direction of air flowing over the pressure surface of each blade. With this configuration, the air sucked from a direction of a rotation axis of a turbofan is less liable to enter a gap of the coupling portion of the blade, thereby being capable of reducing noise. Further, noise is reduced so that high-precision dimensional control of the gap of the coupling portion of the blade is not required. Consequently, dimensional control at the time of manufacture is facilitated to thereby facilitate manufacture.
