Does a ship have transmission to run the propeller?
Some ships do. It is called a reduction gear and takes power from the engine and transmits it to the shaft and propeller. Other ships use direct drive, electric motors, steam or other schemes to power the propeller.
What are the three types of propeller installation in aircraft?
just put the propeller in the aircraft
Why the paddle-wheel in steamship has changed to propeller in new ships?
economy of motion its simple physics
Without this twisted blade some planes could not fly and ships could not move?

Are thrust loads at a right angle to a shaft?
On a ships propeller shaft, the thrust will be in line with the axis of the shaft.
How does a screw help people in the real world?
Used as fasteners, a fan or ships propeller is a form of screw, etc.
What are types of aircraft propeller?
There are two very general types of aircraft propellers: Fixed pitch and variable pitch propellers. Fixed pitch propellers are simply airfoils attached to the engine which spin and due to Bernoulli's principle, cause a lower pressure at the front of the propeller than they do at the back, thereby "pulling" the aircraft forward. They are controlled simply by a throttle lever which directly affects the RPM at which the propeller spins. Variable pitch propellers expand on this concept by allowing the pilot to vary the pitch at which the propeller is angled. By varying this, multiple angles of attack can be imposed on the propeller, meaning the pilot can select a certain angle to achieve greater climb performance, and then change the angle of the blade to achieve greater fuel efficiency. This type of propeller is controlled by two systems - the throttle, which controls the manifold pressure of the engine, and the "prop" control, which changes the angle of the propeller blade.
Why can'y space ships use propellers to move in space?
A propeller needs a fluid in which to operate, like water or air. In space, there is not enough air for a propeller to work. Space is almost a complete vacuum.
