When you hear the word “jet,” you probably think of high speed, power, and cutting-edge technology. So it’s natural to wonder: if jet engines revolutionized airplanes, why haven’t jet drives replaced propellers in boats?Jet drives are indeed used in certain boats—like jet skis, some military vessels

SD Surface Drive, Cummins China, and Haizhizhou Shipyard have successfully collaborated to introduce a groundbreaking 160-horsepower surface drive propulsion solution, marking a significant advancement in efficient, high-speed maritime propulsion. The newly developed test vessel showcases the latest

Propellers play a crucial role in a vessel’s performance, efficiency, and maneuverability. The right propeller design can dramatically affect a ship’s fuel consumption, speed, handling, and overall functionality. However, determining which propeller design is the “best” depends on several factors in

Marine propulsion systems are integral to the performance, maneuverability, and efficiency of boats and ships. Among the various types available, Z-drives, V-drives, and surface drives are widely used for different applications, each offering unique benefits and limitations. This article provides an

When you think of steering a ship, the rudder is likely the first thing that comes to mind. However, not all vessels rely on rudders for navigation. Various innovative technologies enable ships to maneuver effectively without traditional rudders. This article will discuss how ships can turn using th

Boat Propellers

Why Don’t More Boats Have Jet Drives Rather Than Prop Drives?IntroductionBoating enthusiasts often face the dilemma of choosing between jet drives and propeller drives. While jet drives offer certain advantages, they are not as widespread as propeller drives. This blog will delve into the reasons wh

IntroductionCavitation, a crucial topic in fluid dynamics, significantly impacts propulsion systems, particularly surface drive systems. While these systems are designed to be less susceptible to cavitation, certain conditions, such as high-speed operation or improper design, can still induce cavita
