Naval propellers from design to manufacture
Article Abstract:
Despite the huge progress made in the field of the design of ship propellers, propellers themselves are to some degree a puzzle to sailors, captains, naval architects and naval engineers. The dilemma provided by propellers may be due to the combination of many factors such as ship types, engine types and mission profiles. As an example, the propellers for fast attack ships should be able to attain high speeds and prevent erosive cavitation and should have a fixed pitch type.
