However, technical malfunctions delayed their return. Upon approaching the ISS, the Starliner encountered issues, including the shutdown of five thrusters—critical for manoeuvring—and a depletion of ...

The project includes the installation of large battery packs, supplied by Echandia, and new Permanent Magnet (PM) motors for each of the four azimuth thrusters, each rated at 1530 kW. This will enable ...

Pratt & Whitney and MTU commit to an advanced GTF architecture for a next-generation engine, but it will be without the complex WET cycle. Credit: Pratt & Whitney As the aerospace industry ...

In an ironic twist of cosmic problem-solving, Chinese researchers have transformed a lingering Nasa headache into a revolutionary propulsion breakthrough that could redefine modern warfare and ...

Russia may have unlocked the technology needed to make travel to Mars viable. The limitations of existing propulsion systems mean that astronauts must travel for up to a year to reach Mars.

The testing of the engine demonstrator is expected in the late 2020s. “For decades, propulsion has been a key differentiator for the United States, and we are working with the U.S. Air Force to ...

Azimuth thrusters contain propellers that provide steering and rotation on ships and other vessels. After reproducing the azimuth control issue during a later departure from Snug Cove, the Queen ...

reported touching the wooden dock structure and docked pleasure craft, while departing the ferry terminal at Snug Cove, Bowen Island, B.C. due to high wind gusts and issues with the control of the ...

The last stop on our tour, up near the bow, a look around a drop-down azimuth thruster. This device lowers down into the water and can maneuver the ship around in a circle. Back in Wilcox's office ...

May Louise was built by Master Boat Builders to ABS class with 5,220 kW of installed power coming from two Caterpillar-manufactured Cat 3516E main engines driving two Schottel azimuth thrusters. This ...

Technician workflow, safety, and crew comfort are also prioritized. The vessels will feature enhanced maneuverability with four azimuth thrusters, advanced dynamic positioning, an advanced gangway ...

Kongsberg Maritime will provide full-electric rim-drive propulsion with azimuth and tunnel thrusters, in addition to automation, full electrical control, Dynamic Positioning and thruster control ...
