...That being said, I'm thinking more from a pure aerodynamic standpoint. Say you have a 10-6 prop on both of the above setups. Would the shape of the prop bladed differ? Like the rate of twist, thickness of prop blades, etc.
I hope that makes more sense this way...
The shapes of the blades would not differ. The same propeller theory applies to both tractor and pusher props. There are aerodynamic results on the aircraft however, like no slipstream effect, if there is no tail in the slipstream, etc..
