Product catalog summary
Superior Engineering
Arneson Surface Drives eliminate cavitation in propellers, enhancing performance and reducing metal erosion compared to conventional propulsion systems.
Less Drag
By eliminating underwater shafts, struts, and rudders, Arneson Surface Drives reduce hydrodynamic drag by 50%, resulting in higher speed, quicker acceleration, and improved payload to power ratio.
Greater Operating Efficiency
The system's reduced drag and efficient thrust allow for more propulsion with less horsepower, potentially accommodating smaller powerplants and improving fuel efficiency by up to 15%.
Vector Thrust Steering
Arneson drives provide superior steering by hydraulically articulating to vector the full thrust of the propellers, offering instant response and efficient maneuverability.
Speed and Efficiency
Arneson Surface Drives are relied upon for military operations due to their balance of speed, payload, and fuel economy, making them the fastest and most efficient propulsion systems available.
Low Maintenance
Featuring a mechanically simple design with fewer than 20 moving parts, Arneson drives are less prone to mechanical failure.
Duty-Built
Manufactured by Twin Disc, Arneson Surface Drives are built for maximum duty applications using high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials for durability.
Rolla Propellers
Rolla surface-piercing propellers, known for their efficiency and quality, complement the Arneson system to provide optimal marine propulsion.
Service-Proven
Arneson Surface Drives are used globally in various countries across Asia, the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
