A boat prop has a "waterfoil" shape if it's a decent prop. Yet, some of the very efficient submarine propellers have a striking family resemblance to the multi-blade scimitar props used on some large turboprop A/C. Also interesting is that counter rotating props on twin engine A/C work better one way than another on particular A/C.
