The aim of the research is to study an azimuthing contra-rotating propeller with a power of 2000 kW. The topic is very useful because the azimuth thruster solutions currently do not find commercial applications in naval units for passenger transport because not very hydrodynamic efficient. The thruster system is studied especially to be installed on High Speed Crafts (HSCs) for passenger...
This paper is related to the technological development of an innovative small-size Autonomous Surface Vehicle designed to meet the requirement of accessing, monitoring and protecting the shallow waters peculiar of the Wetlands. Surveys in these peculiar environments is reduced due to the absence of suitable tools expressly addressed to work in extremely shallow waters. The first prototype of a...
The passenger transportation among Islands or coastal locations is usually realized by High speed ferries. These vessels use traditionally powerful high speed diesel engines, but this transportation has the characteristic of being subject to season, weather condition, period of the years, causing often an underutilization of the power installed onboard, by the fact that the displacement varies...
