It turns the rotary motion of the crankshaft into thrust. According to the Oxford ATPL Principles of Flight manual, the thrust accelerates air rearwards, creating a low pressure in front of the propeller and a pulling motion on the aerofoil. The force is a result of Bernoulli&rsquo;s laws of pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A propeller converts shaft power from the engine into thrust by accelerating air rearward.
