RING PROPELLERS AND THEIR COMBINATION WITH A STATOR

The paper discusses the features of propellers with an airfoil-shaped ring attached to the blade tips. Results of open-water tests of a series of ring propellers, propulsion tests with a tug model, and tests with a ring propeller/ring stator arrangement, as well as experiences with ring propellers in service, are reported.
