Length: 50cm * Width: 10cm * Depth: 3.5cm * Speed: 0.71 m/s
Propulsion: 1 propeller * Steering: Duct-Rudder, bow thruster
To try if an even more simplified bow thruster would work that could be integrated in nearly any ship, 'RAKETE' was built.
Additionally 'RAKETE' is used as a testbed for the Duct-Rudder.
Here some test runs:
casting off with the bow thruster
control during reversing
right bow thruster during cruise
