A fixed-pitch bolted propeller includes: a hollow hub body configured for attachment to a rotatable shaft, where the hollow hub body includes connection ports circumferentially distributed on an outer surface thereof; propeller blades, where each of the propeller blades terminates in a blade flange attached to the outer surface of the hollow hub body at one of the connection ports; retention plates positioned on an inner surface of the hollow hub body adjacent to the connection ports, where the retention plates include threaded recesses; and bolts extending through bolt holes in the blade flanges and the connection ports and into the threaded recesses of the retention plates to secure the propeller blades to the hollow hub body. The retention plates and the bolts each comprise a material having a tensile strength of at least about 125 ksi and/or a fatigue endurance limit of at least about 50 ksi.
