The transmission team is searching for an efficient and innovative way to deliver the power from the pilot to the propeller. We analyse existing transmission systems and see where and how can we improve those, but at the same time, make it work in our submarine.
This year's ambitious design incorporates contra-rotating propellers. As such, we have completely redesigned the gear system and shaft arrangement to allow each ring of blades to turn independently. This reduces torque reaction and increases the efficiency of the propulsion system. |
