What is Fulmar?
The Fulmar is a new patented propulsion system with a innovative hull design that achieves:
· Reduced water resistance
· Reduced waves creation
· Increase in fuel efficiency
· Higher speeds
· Reduced pollution |
|
Technical Advantages
· No appendage drag
· Quick acceleration over all and
through hump speed.
· Good maneuvarability - Adjustable propulsion system
· Ventilated propeller
· Less variation in pitch over the
blade at different blade angles.
· Optimal thrust
· Higher propeller efficiency
· Good thrust during reverse
· No need of gearbox or reverse
gear
· Less thrust pulsations and
vibrations |
