A propeller (1) and a respective use method are described, comprising a cylindrical casing (3), a hub (2) couplable to an engine and rotatably mounted at least partially in the cylindrical casing of the propeller, and at least one blade (4) rotatably pivoted to the cylindrical casing. The hub (2) is rotatable with respect to the cylindrical casing of the propeller, or vice versa, to adjust the fluid dynamic pitch of the at least one blade (4). The propeller further comprises at least one elastic element (8) interposed between the hub (2) and the cylindrical casing (3) and it is characterized in that the elastic element (8) is preloaded to prevent its deformation until the resistant torque opposing the propeller rotation is lower than the torque generated by the preload of the elastic element (8), wherein said at least one blade is arranged on at least one first fixed fluid dynamic pitch before the deformation of the elastic element (8) begins. It is further described a flat spring (100) for propellers, which has a longitudinal development line (MS) and comprises a plurality of notches (103) transversally arranged with respect to the longitudinal development line. At least two distances (MD) between successive notches (103) are different from one another and/or at least two notches (103) are different from one another.
