A self-adjusting variable pitch propeller included a central hub with an axial propeller centre line defining the rotational axis of the propeller. A plurality of blades extend radially from the hub. The hub exhibits a central bore arranged to receive a rotating drive shaft. Each blade is pivotally fixed to the hub and pivotal about a respective blade pivot axis which extends radially from the hub through the respective blade. Each blade exhibits a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side exhibiting a pressure side area and a suction side exhibiting a suction side area. The blades are mechanically interconnected to freely transfer pivotal movement of each blade to all other blades. The pivotal axis of each blade is positioned such that >50% of the suction side area and of the pressure side area is arranged between the trailing edge and the pivotal axis of the respective blade.
