Cardan shafts are used differently in different vehicles, varying greatly in cars with distinct configurations for front-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and the previously mentioned front-engine rear-wheel drive.
A propeller is connected to a drive shaft which is connected to an engine that runs the same way as a car
Propeller torque force consumes quite a bit of the shaft horse power. Other forces involved... Centrifugal force imposes considerable stress, torque reaction tends to bend the blades in the reverse direction of rotation, the thrust force tends to bend the outer sections of the blades forward and turning moments tend to twist the blades to a decreased pitch. The air inflow at the face of the propeller disc also affects propeller dynamics
A large propeller is placed at a point where the tidal current flows quickly in and out, every 12-13 hours in many parts of the world, except in a few places where there are one or even four high tides every day. As the water flows past the propeller it generates energy in a rotating shaft which is geared to drive electric generators.
By the propeller, pulling itself through the air.
A propeller is like a spinning wing. The airfoil shaped blades pull an airplane forward just as an airplane's wings lift it upward. The amount of thrust created by a propeller depends on how fast and at what angle its blades cut through the air. The propeller is generally powered by a combustion engine which fires pistons and turns the propeller.
The spinning shaft from the engine to which the propeller is attached.

important reason behind inclining the shaft is to avoid/reduce various vibrations that may come up from the propeller and shaft rotation. various rulebooks have the minimum clearances for hull/propeller, so when the hull and propeller are designed and the minimum clearances are not satisfied shaft are inclined. other reasons include better positioning of engine bearers, better flow angle to the propeller blades

On a ships propeller shaft, the thrust will be in line with the axis of the shaft.
The cone pin, or shear pin, is used to attach the propeller to the drive shaft so that if you hit something hard with the propeller, you only break the shear pin, and not the expensive drive shaft, motor, or propeller.Or, more specifically, that you only break the shear pin and propeller, not the drive shaft or motor.
you take it off the shaft
Tail Shaft is the section after the propeller shaft of a shift. Any shaft is always placed farthest from the head, where the power is applied.
