Abstract (en)
A vertical shaft (13) is connected at its upper end to the stern of a ship. A rudder plate (23) is secured to the shaft (13), for controlling the course of the ship. A pod (15) is mounted on the intermediate pate of the shaft (13). The pod (15) contains a drive device, which drives a propeller shaft. The propeller (21) connected to the propeller shaft is thereby rotated, generating a force propelling the ship. To alter the course of the ship, the shaft (13) is rotated, thereby rotating the pod (15) and the rudder plate (23). As the rudder plate (23) is thus rotated, a lift is obtained at the plate (23). The lift and the lateral component of the propelling force are combined, applying a lateral force to the hull. <IMAGE>
