Division of thrust in lateral thrust unit between rotor and ship's hull, and its importance in design of thrust unit; importance of duct inlet roundings; efficient intake shapes for unit employing ducting of uniform cross-sectional area and hence having no flow contraction or diffusion; suggestions based on practical considerations for modifying these shapes to allow for added ship resistance due to openings and use of unit for slow speed maneuvering; question of closing doors for unit; suggestions for testing full scale units in certain suitable cases.
