| The other possibility is to install waterjets : Kamewa or MJP. One of the problems is the turbulances in the waterduct at the shaft at 60 knots.... I think that the opc (overall propulsive coeff.) is higher for piercing screws at this high speed. My ASD (arrow system design) hull shape reduces the long. trim and give additional lift in the after bottom of the boat. The waterjet, in order to help the water intake in the duct, needs a certain attack dynamic long. angle otherwise the turbulance effect is hughe with loss of efficiency of the impeller. On the other hand fins or spade rudders produce additional resistance... For the moment I think that the better choiche remains the surface drive...but which? This is the question...! |
