High Efficiency Nozzles
  

The advanced airfoil design of the NautiCAN nozzle has 17 times less resistance than a conventional 19a nozzle. This results in greater fuel efficiency and more delivered power.  With the H-E nozzle the highest possible speed and bollard pull is obtained. Bollard pull increases up to 60%, and increases in speed of 0.5 - 2 knots are guaranteed, even when the nozzles are replacing open propellers.

 To obtain a perfect airfoil profile, the nozzle is manufactured out of thirty-six airfoil sections.  This unique framing technique along with the nozzle profile results in the superior strength and performance of the H-E nozzle. Unlike a conventional nozzle, the inside surface of the NautiCAN nozzle is made entirely of stainless steel. This eliminates the costly welding repairs that occur with other nozzles. The advanced construction of the H-E nozzle completely eliminates plug welds; this greatly adds to the structural strength and integrity of the nozzle.

Thrust can be increased an additional 4-6% with the pre-swirl stator.
