propellor
Aircraft thrust generator
Propellor is a less common spelling of propeller—a device with rotating blades that pushes a vehicle through air or water.
Aircraft propellers pull planes forward; boat propellers push from the stern.
The spelling with -or appears occasionally but -er is standard.
