Voith-Schneider Propeller

This is a tiny version of the real thing; designed for model boats by VOITH SCHIFFSTECHNIK GmbH. The Voith-Schneider prop, or VSP, is an alternative to traditional screw propellers and rudders. The unit provides variable thrust in ANY direction, enabling boats to go sideways and spin around their own axis. Used on tug boats and ferries and other vessels that require extreme manoeuvrability.
