Propeller:

A propeller is essentially a type of fan which transmits power by converting rotational motion into thrust for propulsion of a vehicle such as an aircraft, ship, or submarine through a mass such as water or air, by rotating two or more twisted blades about a central shaft.(From wikipedia)

Application:

Used for ship and airplane propulsion.
