Propulsion Machinery and Pitch Changing Systems for the Tandem Propeller

Abstract

A study is made of a turboelectric submarine propulsion system incorporating propellers at both ends of the ship. The propellers are driven by free-flooding motors located in the propeller hubs. Propeller blades are arranged to be controllable in pinch individually, and hence provide directed thrust for ship control. Design requirements for machinery and pitch changing systems are developed, and a feasible design is evolved.
