An elica functions to convert rotational power into thrust, enabling propulsion for aircraft, ships, and various mechanical systems. The concept is widely used in aviation, nautical engineering, and energy devices such as wind turbines, where rotating blades interact with the surrounding medium to generate motion or power.
In aviation, propellers are mounted on piston- and turbine-engined aircraft. They typically consist of a hub,
In nautical applications, propellers drive boats and ships. They likewise come in configurations with two, three,
Materials and manufacturing have evolved from wood to metals and, more recently, composites and high-strength alloys.
The term eliche highlights a broad family of propulsion components whose function is to translate rotational
