Abstract: This paper studies the use of propellers on aircraft. For single-engine aircraft, the propeller is commonly installed at the nose, on the fuselage, or at the tail, with the nose-mounted configuration being the most optimal. Multi-engine aircraft generally use symmetrically arranged propellers on both sides of the wings to increase power and safety. Propeller aircraft offer high efficiency at low speeds and low fuel consumption, making them suitable for transport, training, sport aviation, UAVs, and short-range flight. Their main limitation is the decrease in efficiency at high speeds, so they are less suitable for high-speed missions.
