Utilization of nonsymmetric propeller shrouds to develop force perpendicular to propeller axis is explained and several possible applications and configurations are outlined; theory is developed for prediction of magnitude and direction of this side thrust; specific application is made to semicircular shroud used in place of conventional rudder; advantages predicted are significant increase in turning force, elimination of rudder appendage drag and increase in propulsive thrust of about 5%.
