The pivoting design allows the outboard motor to be swiveled by the operator in almost all directions: Sideways for direction, up and down to change the thrust line according to speed or bow lift, elevate completely out of water for easy starting, placing the drive shaft and the propeller forward along the side of the boat for reverse, or put ...
ABB provided an azimuth thruster for ShinNihonkai Ferries in form of the CRP Azipod, [2] claiming efficiency gains from the propeller (about 10% increase [3]) and a simpler hull design. Volvo Penta have launched the IPS (Inboard Performance System), [4] an integrated diesel, transmission and pulling contra-rotating propellers for motor yachts.
An advanced type of propeller used on the American Los Angeles-class submarine as well as the German Type 212 submarine is called a skewback propeller. As in the scimitar blades used on some aircraft, the blade tips of a skewback propeller are swept back against the direction of rotation. In addition, the blades are tilted rearward along the ...
When a propeller-driven vehicle is moving at high speed relative to the fluid, or the propeller is rotating slowly, the advance ratio of its propeller(s) is a high number. When the vehicle is moving at low speed or the propeller is rotating at high speed, the advance ratio is a low number.
The momentum theory or disk actuator theory – a theory describing a mathematical model of an ideal propeller – was developed by W.J.M. Rankine (1865), Alfred George Greenhill (1888) and Robert Edmund Froude (1889). The propeller is modelled as an infinitely thin disc, inducing a constant velocity along the axis of rotation.
