Putting the fan blades on backwards does not reverse the airflow.

It makes the curve of the blade backwards, which pretty much makes the fan useless.   The airflow will still be in the correct direction, but probably about 25% of what it was.

Only if you're driving faster than the air flow at the fan creates.  :dunno:
