Now hold on a minute. I thought the reason they called it a flex fan was because it flexed and flattened out the pitch at high RPM. With the engine running at idle RPM, the pitch increases and provides more airflow across the radiator. I also thought the flex design was specifically designed to be used without a clutch or on vehicles that never had a fan clutch anyway.
