Triple Rudders
  

The Integrated Propulsion unit not only offers great gains in thrust and speed but dramatic increases in maneuverability. The tight turns and maneuvers are made possible with the high performance triple rudders.

By the use of differential linkage and unique geometry, the entire propeller outflow is deflected up to 60° to the side without the loss of thrust or loading of the engine. This deflection makes it possible for even large vessels and barge trains to make tight turns. In trials rudder side force is measured to be 74% of the bollard pull. This is greater than any other rudder system including the flap rudder (Becker), which only measures at 40%.

Triple rudders are integrated into the IP Unit but can also be added onto existing nozzle applications.
