Propeller sound effects in the air and under the water. Light aircraft spluttering into life and climbing out, wartime fighters roaring overhead. A little drone whines past now and then. Below the surface, boat props churn through the water, recorded on hydrophones. There's a sci-fi set of designed rotors as well. Anything that spins and pushes.

A propeller's sound depends on its engine and its blades. A light aircraft piston engine has a buzzy, uneven drone, while a big wartime fighter growls and whistles at full power. Recordings cover the full trip: start-up, Taxi, Takeoff and low passes, from the ground and inside the cabin with the window open. Underwater, a prop is a pulsing churn that grows and fades as the boat passes, useful in submarine scenes and dive footage. Overhead flybys come at different heights and speeds. Any outdoor scene can use a plane somewhere in the sky.
