What part of the propeller where the blades are placed?

The purpose of the propeller is to move the aircraft through the air. The propeller consist of two or more blades connected together by a hub. The hub serves to attach the blades to the engine shaft. . The blades are made in the shape of an airfoil like wing of an aircraft.

(Figure 2-1) The maximum reach of the blade from the center of the propeller hub. It separates the leading edge from the trailing edge. That part of the blade nearest the boat, which first cuts through the water. It extends from the hub to the tip. That part of the blade farthest from the boat. The edge from which the water leaves the blade.

Which is the negative pressure side of the propeller?

What It Is: The side of the blade facing forward, known as the negative pressure, or suction, side of the blade is the blade back. What It Does: The blade back is the first part of the propeller to meet the water in a revolution and is usually shaped like a foil in cross-section to create a difference in pressure.Boating Magazine Why Three?

What are the ribs of a propeller called?
