Rim–driven thruster, presented at SMM 2010 A rim-driven thruster mounted on a swing-out unit (design by silentdynamics GmbH) Voith rim thruster at SMM 2010 in Hamburg. The rim-driven thruster, also known as rim-driven propulsor/propeller (or RDP) is a novel type of electric propulsion unit for ships.
[clarification needed] The choice between using thrusters or traditional propellers to propel marine vessels is a compromise between versatility and efficiency. Propellers are designed to work in-line with a propulsion plant and produce one-directional thrust while thrusters are more customizable and have a more versatile application.
A ducted propeller, also known as a Kort nozzle, is a marine propeller fitted with a non-rotating nozzle. It is used to improve the efficiency of the propeller and is especially used on heavily loaded propellers or propellers with limited diameter. It was developed first by Luigi Stipa (1931) and later by Ludwig Kort (1934). The Kort nozzle is ...

The last JRM-1 on order was completed as the JRM-2 with the engines changed to 3,000 hp (2,200 kW) Pratt & Whitney R4360-4T engines with 4-blade, 16 ft 8 in (508 cm) diameter Curtiss Electric propellers. Gross weight increased by 20,000 lb (9,100 kg).
A toroidal propeller is a type of propeller that is ring-shaped with each blade forming a closed loop. The propellers are significantly quieter at audible frequency ranges, between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, while generating comparable thrust to traditional propellers. In practice, toroidal propellers reduce noise pollution in both aviation and maritime ...
