CAP propulsion system

marine

The CAP propulsion system is a new propulsion and manoeuvering system developed by Motala Verkstad. It consists of two independently moving hub units with the outer one fitted with a propeller. The propeller can be moved 30 degrees either side off the centreline to enable directional steering. Thus a rudder is excluded.
