[Electric Boats] Re: Prop design

 

In all the discussions I have yet to see a reference to nuke sub props. Diesel isn't the only example we can use. For a naval submarine the drive characteristics are more in line with electric, and efficiency is paramount both to extract performance and to reduce noise.

Although nuke prop design is classified photos do exist. I would think that modeling the basic characteristics in a tank would be trivial now that we have 3D printing to manufacture prototype shapes.
