How a propeller engine runs an airplane?
A propeller is a wing. When the engine rotates the propeller, the curved surfaces of the propeller develop lift just as the main wing does. Since the "lift" is in a forward direction instead of upward, the aircraft is pulled forward. Surprisingly, the outer 1/3 of the propeller provides almost all of the lift pulling the aircraft.
