High Lift Rudder – Precision Steering for Optimal Performance
Enhanced Maneuverability & Efficiency for Modern Vessels
Our High Lift Rudder is engineered to deliver superior hydrodynamic performance, providing ships with exceptional steering control and improved fuel efficiency. Featuring a spherical-edged design with movable flaps, these rudders generate greater lift with reduced drag, making them ideal for vessels that demand precision handling and energy-saving operation.
How High Lift Rudders Work
✔ Optimized Hydrodynamics – The semi-elliptical flap edges enhance water flow, increasing lift while minimizing resistance.
✔ Smart Flap Mechanism – The flap angle adjusts proportionally with rudder movement, improving autopilot responsiveness and course correction.
✔ Reduced Propulsion Drag – The streamlined shape cuts through water efficiently, lowering fuel consumption.
✔ Non-Metal Water-Lubricated Bushings – Eco-friendly and maintenance-free, eliminating oil pollution risks.
Key Benefits for Ship Operators
1. Unmatched Maneuverability
-
40-50% smaller turning radius than conventional rudders
-
Faster course corrections with smoother autopilot operation
-
Superior low-speed control for docking and tight navigation
2. Enhanced Safety & Stability
-
Improved braking response – Reduced rush-forward distance
-
Stable steering in rough seas – Minimizes yaw and drift
-
Reliable flap mechanism – Less sensitivity to sudden movements
3. Economic & Environmental Advantages
-
Lower fuel consumption due to reduced drag
-
Extended operational range for cost-efficient voyages
-
Zero oil pollution with water-lubricated bushings
