Summary

Description
English: 330-PS-9124 (USN 710228): The U.S. Navy has announced the development of a new type of ship propeller which is undergoing tests at the David Taylor Model Basin. Known as a “super-cavitating” propeller, it takes advantage of cavitations, which is the formation of a vacuum around speeding propellers, by using the resulting vacuum to develop increased speed. The new propeller resembles the screw-like part of the ordinary kitchen food grinder. The two flanges of the propeller have squared ends rather than the tapered ends of the blades on conventional propellers. The design forces the cavitations bubbles astern providing the increased thrust, September 2, 1958. (11/5/2014).
