Angle of prop shaft - theoretical question.

the basic issue (propwalk) is caused by prop rotation and all

rotate the prop.
============================================
Of course, but what is the cause of the asymetric thrust? THAT is the
question. Everyone agrees that a prop with a horizontal shaft still
exhibits prop walk, implying that the bottom the prop is more
efficient at providing thrust than the top. Lots of theories have
been provided but none that seem totally convincing since prop walk
still exists to one degree or another on deep props, that have plenty
of hull clearance.
