LATEST TECHNOLOGY New design revisions are developed using the latest Computational Fluid Dynamics software (CFD) and tested for strength using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). CFD is now capable of accurately predicting incremental design improvements, and offers a significant time saving to evolving propulsion designs using multiple models and full scale trials. Validation of propeller designs is of particular importance to finalise the design process. All proposed new designs are tested in a cavitation tunnel using a scale model, and then trialed on a full scale vessel to check other performance...

5 pitch feature of up to 3 inches. In the future the propellers will have a ' of the blades when in operation. Interceptor propellers are geometrically The Interceptor™ design is an adjustable protrusion on the trailing edge of the pressure face of the blade to produce a surface discontinuity. The protrusion is arranged with an included angle equal to or less than 90 degrees which causes a"wedge" of circulating fluid to be captured. This "wedge" of fluid induces a local increase in lift in this region of the foil section, without the associated frictional drag associated with alternative foil...
