why propeller shaft are made hollow
Why hollow shaft is used for propeller shaft?
Because the load taking capacity of hollow shaft is more as the load per unit area is lesser due to the lesser cross sectional area.

Where would a lead screw be found?
Sometimes the propeller on a boat is called a screw & they used to be made of lead. So they would be found at the end of the propeller shaft.
Why the propeller shaft is inclined?
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

What is propeller shaft bearing?
A propeller shaft bearing is a mechanical component that supports the propeller shaft in a vehicle, typically in marine and automotive applications. It facilitates smooth rotation of the shaft, reducing friction and wear while maintaining alignment between the engine and the propeller or wheels. Proper functioning of the propeller shaft bearing is essential for efficient power transfer and overall vehicle performance. Regular maintenance is important to prevent failures that can lead to costly repairs or loss of functionality.
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.
