  2. Advance ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_ratio

    Diameter of the propeller. The propeller advance ratio or coefficient is a dimensionless number used in aeronautics and marine hydrodynamics to describe the relationship between the speed at which a vehicle (like an airplane or a boat) is moving forward and the speed at which its propeller is turning.

  3. Radio-controlled model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_model

    Radio-controlled boats are model boats controlled remotely with radio control equipment. The main types of RC boat are: scale models (12 inches (30 cm) – 144" (365 cm) in size), the sailing boat and the power boat. The latter is the more popular amongst toy grade models.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-controlled_boat

    Electric boats for racing are capable of reaching speeds of more than 50 mph and run times of around 10 minutes. Electric boats also hold the 100-yard sprint record against rival internal combustion powerplants since 2000. Tethered racing and free-running craft were popular prior to the advent of cheap radio control.

    English inventor Francis Ronalds described what he called a propelling rudder in 1859 that combined the propulsion and steering mechanisms of a boat in a single apparatus. . The propeller was placed in a frame having an outer profile similar to a rudder and attached to a vertical shaft that allowed the device to rotate in plane while spin was transmitted to the propell

    The first such ship to use the Voith Schneider propeller was the excursion boat Kempten. Two German 1935-type M class minesweepers M-1 and M-2 were fitted with VSPs. The first British ship to use Voith Schneider propellers was the double-ended Isle of Wight ferry MV Lymington, launched in 1938.

  7. Propeller theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_theory

    A propeller imparts momentum to a fluid which causes a force to act on the ship. [1] The ideal efficiency of any propulsor is that of an actuator disc in an ideal fluid. This is called the Froude efficiency and is a natural limit which cannot be exceeded by any device, no matter how good it is.
