Abstract
The development of ship propellers has generally been
characterized by search for propellers with as high efficiency as
possible and at the same time low noise and vibration levels and
little or no cavitation. This search has lead to unconventional
propulsors, like vane-wheel propulsors, contra-rotating
propellers, propeller-and-stator-blade propulsors, and also to
propellers with unconventional geometry, like propellers with end
plates and tip-fin or Kappel propellers. The paper starts with a
short overview of the different unconventional, high-efficiency
propulsors. The emphasis is laid on the background, development
and current state of development of tip-fin propellers.
