An axial flow fan is provided having an airfoil shape that improves efficiency of the axial flow fan and increases the structural strength and workability/formability of the thin trailing edge portion. The axial flow fan includes a blade having a suction surface, a pressure surface, and a trailing edge surface; the suction surface has the same in shape as a predetermined airfoil including an NACA-series airfoil; a trailing edge portion on the pressure surface is different in shape from the predetermined airfoil. A feature is that the blade trailing edge portion including the trailing edge portions on the oppositely facing pressure and suction surfaces and the trailing edge, has a thickness greater than that of a trailing edge portion of the predetermined airfoil and strength equaling or exceeding a predetermined strength.
