propeller blade
Rotating aircraft wing
A propeller blade is one of the angled surfaces that radiate from a propeller's central hub.
As the propeller spins, the blades cut through air or water at an angle, generating thrust that moves a vehicle forward.
Most propellers have two to four blades: The pilot noticed ice forming on the propeller blades.
