🔍 Key Concepts

• Voith Schneider drive basic operating principle (vertical blades rotating on a circular plate) • Difference between propeller types vs. non‑conventional propulsors • Meaning of the terms ducted, tandem, vane, and cycloidal in marine propulsion

💭 Think About

• Think about how a Voith Schneider unit produces thrust: does it spin like a normal screw propeller, or do individual blades follow a special path? • Which option describes the motion of the blade tips around the hull, rather than the shape of a shroud or the number of propellers? • Eliminate any terms that obviously apply to standard screw propellers, then match what’s left to the unique circular/blade motion of a Voith Schneider drive.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on whether a Voith Schneider unit is considered a conventional screw propeller or a specialized maneuvering propulsor. • Check which term is commonly used in technical literature and shiphandling texts to classify Voith Schneider drives. • Verify which option describes the orbital path of the blades around a central point, not just a propeller inside a nozzle or multiple props on one shaft.
