A ducted Propeller is mounted as an integral part of the rudder and is fixed to it. The duct is a Kort Nozzle and enables the propeller to develop more thrust than an unducted propeller. The Pleuger rudder is necessarily mounted in the flow from the main engine's propeller in a ship with an odd number of propellers. If the Pleuger and the main engine are run at the same time, the Pleuger can often be torn away {Link without Title} . The thrust produced by the Pleuger rudder is sufficient to power the ship in slow speed manoeuvres when the force required to move the vessel is relatively small. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
