A propeller is completely external and is the main source of propulsion for a airplane with a piston or turbojet engine. A turbofan is more enclosed and provides some propulsion along with also cooling the jet engine that is the main source of propulsion.

How does a propeller vehicle use air resistance?

A propeller vehicle uses air resistance to generate forward thrust. As the propeller spins, it creates a pressure difference between the front and back of the propeller, causing the vehicle to move forward. The air resistance acts against the motion of the propeller, helping to propel the vehicle forward.
