Objectives

The main objective of ARGOS is to solve the problems with the propeller shaft dynamic of Diesel engines by suitable design of the propeller with sufficient damping ability.

  • Capable to sustain an increase by +20% in baseline engine power with low propeller maintenance.
  • Diameter < 2m, weight < 30 kg, max efficiency over 85% at 2200 rpm.
  • Clockwise rotation.
  • Technology capable to be certified.
