We recently established a sophisticated virtual hydrodynamic laboratory to provide the capability to precisely analyze most fluid dynamic problems, including vessel resistance & powering, seakeeping and propulsor cavitation studies.  Additionally, we routinely conduct instrumented sea trials to measure shaft horsepower and vessel vibration levels for our customers. 

We provide our customers the assurance of more than 30 years of expertise in developing advanced marine propulsors for the U.S. Navy, several international navies, large & small commercial workboat operators and international yacht builders.
