Our flap rudder series provides both excellent manoeuvring performance whenever there is a requirement for high manoeuvrability and efficiency, with a smaller required rudder area.
A Flap rudder produces more side force than a classic rudder of equivalent size. Depending on shipowner requirements, a flap rudder may be used to reduce the overall area of a rudder whilst maintaining equal lift forces or may be used whenever there is a requirement for high manoeuvrability. Therefore, a good understanding of owner’s operation requirements is vital. The rudders can also be optimised for higher speeds and the leading edge of the rudder can be twisted to improve the efficiency and cavitation characteristics of the rudder.
Flap Bulbous – For Low to Medium Speeds
A Bulbous profile with flap that provides extreme low-speed manoeuvring performance.
Flap Medium – For Medium Speeds
A medium profile with flap that provides high manoeuvring performance and propulsive efficiency.
Flap Slim – For High Speeds
A slim profile that provides high propulsion performance and manoeuvring with high strength flap mechanism for reliable operation at medium to high speeds.
With a flap rudder solution, vessels achieve a higher manoeuvrability. By using a Neuver flap rudder, vessel operations in lower speeds and limited operational space will generate huge potential in terms of safety and performance. The Neuver Flap Rudder is suitable for both newbuild and retrofit, wherever manoeuvrability and effiency play a leading role.
