A cycloidal marine-propulsion system (100) is disclosed. The system comprises a blade-mounting disc (106) and a plurality of propeller blades (110A-E). Each of the plurality of propeller blades has a respective primary blade axis (117) and is connected to the disc (106) in a manner allowing the blade (110) to be rotated about its primary blade axis (117) independent of any about-axis rotation of every other one of the propeller blades. The system also includes a plurality of electric actuators (108A-E), each actuator being connected to a respective one of the propeller blades (110A-E). The system further includes a controller in communication with the electric actuators (108A-E) for controlling selectively each of the electric actuators.
