Best efficiency with Contra Rotating propellers

Double blade area means

smaller prop diameter for same
output

No side forces from contra

rotating propellers

Half blade loading means half tip

losses and minimized cavitation

Less rotational speed means

less noise and vibrations

Contra- Rotating have

no rotational losses

Horizontal shaft increase the prop

efficiency comp to angled shaft

Optimizing the shape of the pod units and the CR props

•Improved circulation distribution ( front and rear propeller)

•Reduced specific loading
•New pitch distribution
•New camber distribution
•Modified blade tip
•100% cancellation of swirl ing axial flow
•Pressure side cavitation on rear propeller eliminated

It is not only about the propulsion system

•Hulls to be adapted to the propulsion system for best performance

•Correct selection of pod/prop size and engine power for full load conditions
•Calculation of speed, trim and heel for optimum hull design and load distribution
