"Pioneer" KNIGHT Rudder
Full Spade Rudder with Offset-twisted leading edge
The „Pioneer“, the KNIGHT-Rudder is a pathfinder for a better co-operation between propeller and rudder. Through incoming flow to the offset twisted leading edge it generates additionally propulsion components and reduce the loss of power of the propeller. Further it reduce the cavitation problems of propulsion.
MM-Offshore recommend the KNIGHT-Rudder for the following vessel types:
Medium speed vessels
High speed vessels
Large container vessels
Special vessels like cruise liner and other ferries
In general this type of rudder fits to a wide range of vessels
Key facts:
Offset twisted leading edge for reducing the resistance of whole hull Optimized „teamwork“ between propeller and rudder Noise reductions in the aft end section of vessel Outstanding maneuvering and course keeping properties Cavitation inhibiting properties
