About product
Marine ducted propeller, also known as a Kort nozzle, consists of a circular duct with an airfoil section installed on the outer edge of a conventional propeller. The duct can be either fixed or rotating, with the rotating duct acting as a rudder blade. The purpose of the duct is to improve propeller propulsion efficiency by creating additional thrust and reducing flow losses.
- Improved propulsion efficiency through pressure difference and reduced flow losses.
- Enhanced maneuverability and control in confined spaces.
- Reduction of wake contraction for increased energy efficiency.
- Suitable for tugboats, pusher vessels, workboats, and offshore support vessels.
