How Do Nuclear Thermal Propulsion Systems Work?

Discover how innovative propeller and rudder design can improve the propulsion efficiency of yachts. As Senior Naval Architect Sjoerd van Herk points out, there’s quite a lot at stake in the final stages of a yacht’s propulsion:“Around 40 per cent of the engine’s output is lost at the propeller,” he explains. “So it makes sense to look for improvements in this area.” With sustainability high on the industry’s agenda, shipyards are even more motivated to increase propulsion efficiency. It makes p

A new propulsion system could allow air travel at speeds of 21,000 km/h.
