Making a propeller along a curve

Hi all

I would like to know if on Solidworks it is possible to make a helix along a guide or sketch curve and then carry out a material removal by scanning along this helix.

Here is an example photo of what I am looking to do. I found this example on the internet and it was made on Catia.

Thanks in advance

Hello

Yes, in much the same way. I can't upload but here is a link for the example

Great, thank you so much, it's exactly what I was looking for.

I managed to reproduce on my part with a rectangular profile.

Here is a screenshot of the result.

On the other hand, it would be missing a parameter to adjust the spiral pitch when you apply a twist to it, but that's already good.

Thank you again.
