Cycloidal propulsion - the silent manoeuvring propulsion for research vessels

摘要

Summary form only given. The vertical axis cycloidal or VOITH SCHNEIDER Propeller (VSP) is a silent propulsor giving unique manoeuvrability to any vessel. Based on this special low noise characteristics it is today's standard for MCMV. The VSP has by no means reached the limits of its development. A new generation of VSP with enhanced hydrodynamics and improved construction is ready for introduction into the market.
