How can I find whether a specific fan is air flow or static pressure fan just by looking at the fan blades? (not reading the specs or model name code)

There are so many blade designs on the market , that' doesn't always hold true.
Best to research each fan you purchase.
I only run Noctua and Corsair.

High static pressure fans have a steeper blade pitch and require more amperage draw to push the additional blade air resistance the steep pitch creates.
The end result when optimal speed is applied, is solid constant air pressure, or static pressure, and air pressure equals air flow, and usually at a high noise level expense.
Have you ever taken a good look at some airplane propellers?

High static pressure fans were most common earlier to cool servers, usually in another closed dedicated room or closet because of the high fan noise levels.
Today they've entered into cooling for high FPI (Fins Per Inch) fin count radiators for water cooling, the tighter the radiator fin grouping the more static pressure is required to push air through.
Thankfully the water cooling industry is now releasing low and high FPI count radiators so that the low FPI rads can be cooled with non static pressure fans that you can tolerate listening to for long time periods.
