A propeller blade includes a body configured to extend radially from the hub of a propeller. The body can include a front surface, a back surface, a leading edge, and a trailing edge. The top of the body can form a tippet that generally transitions the front and back surfaces from extending in a generally radial direction to a generally axial direction. The tippet can reduce radial flow and force losses, redirect the radial flow in an axial direction, reduce the exit flow area of the propeller, and increase the inlet flow area of the propeller. The front surface of the blade can have a planar configuration that prevents or reduces the creation of low or negative pressure across the front surface of the blade and associated cavitation.
