The sophisticated control of flow increases propulsive efficiency, making this the ideal solution for us since it must be born of a profound knowledge of hydrodynamics.
With this technology we computer design propellers to maximum efficiency, extreme durability and exceptional smoothness.
Testing time is reduced to a minimum by designing and manufacturing exactly to design point, and overall efficiency is improved by optimizing propeller geometry and secondary characteristics to best fit environmental flow and vessels dynamics.
