Abstract
This propulsion and control system using surface-cutting double propellers, designed for shallow-draft ships, can improve efficiency by as much as 40% compared to conventional propulsion systems. The ship uses no directional device, but is steered by varying the rpm, pitch and rotational direction of both propellers and therefore needs a special control system.
