ABSTRACT:
A gear box for coupling the output from the crank shaft of an automotive engine to the hub of a pusher-type propeller for powering an air-boat. The gear box functions to eliminate any axial loading on the crank shaft of the automotive engine and provides a coupling of the output drive shaft to the pusher-type propeller such that in the event of the drive shaft failure, such as caused by the propeller striking a solid object, the propeller is retained in 15 its original position and prevented from flying off from the gear box in which it is mounted.
