There are provided a negative lean angle &thetas;L of a direction opposite to a rotation direction in the vicinity of a hub, and a positive lean angle &thetas;L of the rotation direction in other regions on a chip side. The negative lean angle &thetas;L is -10 DEG +/-3 DEG in a high loss region in the vicinity of the hub, and the positive lean angle &thetas;L is 30 DEG +/-3 DEG on the chip side. Moreover, there is provided a positive sweep angle &thetas;s. The positive sweep angle &thetas;s is 20 DEG +/-3 DEG on the hub side, and is also 20 DEG +/-3 DEG on the chip side. Total pressure losses on both the hub and chip sides are reduced, noises can be reduced on both the hub and chip sides, and thereby noise reduction can be achieved without deteriorating aerodynamic capabilities.
