While there is a strong difference in the real world, the difference if
fairly small in the LEGO world. Take 6041.dat, for example, which is,
like you said, a boat propellor. But you will find this one on many
"aircraft" like official vehicles. For example in some Basic sets and
the Advent calender, if I remember correctly.
Likewise, you will find rotors used as propellers.
With this in mind, I would personally vote for putting all "propeller
like" elements in the same category. Why not call the category
"Propellor"? (If that is correct LDraw spelling?) That sounds generic
enough for me, but then again, I'm not a fluent English speaker.
