The vessel is of a round hull design with a bulbous bow, bow thruster and propellor nozzle. |
|
On the way down it will take images that will help determine its exact location and altitude, and set the timing for the final thruster firings. |
|
Debates range from tow-in versus paddle in and thruster versus single fin all the way down to which local spot hosts the worthiest crew. |
|
It had two large exhaust ports located on the center of each wing and a main thruster located in the center of the back. |
|
A retractable azimuth thruster is capable of propelling the ship at 10 knots. |
|
Old head Taylor and young thruster Tom Shanklin will keep honest whatever centre pairing McGeechan wishes to field. |
|
The engine let out a growling rumble, the main thruster roaring in response, and they shot forward. |
|
The vessel was also fitted with a reconditioned hydraulic bow thruster, powered from the deck machinery hydraulic system. |
|
Travelling back to Orkney around 7.45 pm, the ferry lost power to its bow thruster and was left drifting in storm force winds. |
|
After that, the main thruster will give the spacecraft a push in the new direction. |
|
The vessel refit project for CCGS Pierre Radisson involves the replacement of the ship's six engines, three main generators and one bow thruster. |
|
This system uses directed air generated by a variable-pitch fan and a direct jet thruster to provide for anti-torque and directional control. |
|
Several systems are available for generating currents, including arrays of underwater nozzles, thruster pumps, and recirculation tunnels. |
|
Extra power take off on second engine to give back up for thruster from other engines in case one not in use. |
|
Compact bow thruster with direct belt drive for high efficiency and reliability. |
|
Then watch how smoothly it manoeuvers into the dock because the engines are spaced far apart and the bow thruster makes it all so easy. |
|
The bow thruster was set to thrust the bow to starboard with full power and the starboard anchor was let go with approximately 25 m of cable. |
|
At a given level of total power, an ion thruster consumes ten times less fuel than a conventional chemical rocket engine. |
|
Upon impact, the master again reduced the engine speed to bare steerage way and turned on the bow thruster. |
|
To maintain steerage at this low speed, the bridge team used the bow thruster. |
|
|
At 35º of helm, propeller thrust is diverted laterally, thereby creating an athwartships thrust similar to a thruster. |
|
This system controls the vessel's position and heading using the vessel's azimuth thruster pods. |
|
In forward flight, directional control is provided by a combination of the vertical stabilizers and the direct jet thruster. |
|
The Kort nozzle steering system and bow thruster were working properly, and there was no indication of any steering gear malfunction. |
|
The thruster must not turn as otherwise the bellows protective cap will be damaged. |
|
Orbital perturbations include the effects of a user-selectable geopotential model, solar and lunar gravitation, solar radiation, and thruster firing. |
|
The craft captain attempted to rotate his searchlight to illuminate the west side of the gap, but in doing so, the searchlight lit up the bow thruster vents, making visual reference even more difficult. |
|
Snecma has already sold a dozen Fakel SPT100 thrusters, and has developed its first plasma thruster, the PPS® 1350, designed for orbit control on communications satellites. |
|
Among them is the development of a compact AUV for search and survey applications, a pipeline inspection vehicle, innovative thruster arrays, and current profiling capabilities for underwater gliders. |
|
If the thruster is installed using a dedicated battery bank, this must be as close as possible to the thruster in order to reduce voltage loss in the electric cables. |
|
Set points for heading and position are specified by the operator, that's the DP operator, and then processed by the DP control system, to provide control signals to the vessel's thruster and main propeller systems. |
|
A collection of such needles forms a thruster. |
|
The thruster jets were turned off, and the computers instructed the wing flaps, or elevons, and other control surfaces to maintain a steady course. |
|
The ship also had three new generators and a new bow thruster fitted. |
|
A hurrier, also sometimes called a coal drawer or coal thruster, was a child or woman employed by a collier to transport the coal that they had mined. |
|
During the installation, REM also implemented the use of a Pipe Thruster. |
