no. it needs some viscous drag to throw the water and drag the ship forward... feel like a block just gliding in frictionless plane...

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.

Does a boat propeller run when the boat is idle?

No, the propeller will only work if the engine is running.


How does a propeller work?

A propeller works by converting the rotation of the engine into horizontal thrust similar to a fan. The blades push the air backwards creating acceleration, and create a difference in pressure between the forward and rear surface adding to the movement. The above is, of course true for a boat propeller. For an airplane propeller Bernoulli's pincipal is involved. Bernoulli's principle states that the greater the speed of a fluid, the less the lateral pressure. So the propeller uses the same deal as the wing.

How does the airplane propeller work?

The curved shape of the propeller deflects airflow to it's rear. This is 'thrust' that propels an aircraft.
