Contra-rotating propellers Contra-rotating propellers on the Rolls-Royce Griffon-powered P-51XR Mustang Precious Metal at the 2014 Reno Air Races. Aircraft equipped with contra-rotating propellers (CRP) [1] coaxial contra-rotating propellers, or high-speed propellers, apply the maximum power of usually a single piston engine or turboprop engine to drive a pair of coaxial propellers in contra ...

The Aristocraft was an attempt by Waco to enter the post-war market for light aircraft. [1]The prototype first flew in March 1947 powered by a 215 hp (160 kW) Franklin 6AL piston engine mounted at the front with a shaft driven pusher propeller at the rear. [1]
The problem of firing through the propeller's arc was avoided by passing the gun barrel through the propeller's hub or spinner – first used in production military aircraft with the 1917 French SPAD S.XII [citation needed] – or mounting guns in the wings, as was used from the early 1930s until propeller engines were superseded in the jet age.
A proprotor is a spinning airfoil that function as both an airplane-style propeller and a helicopter-style rotor. Several proprotor-equipped convertiplanes , such as the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor , are capable of switching back and forth between flying akin to both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.

A pusher aircraft is a type of aircraft using propellers placed behind the engines. Pushers may be classified according to lifting surfaces layout (conventional or 3 surface, canard, joined wing, tailless and rotorcraft) as well as engine/propeller location and drive. For historical interest, pusher aircraft are also classified by date.
