A coaxial contra-rotating circumferential thruster includes: an input end, a one-way commutator, a two-way deflector, a steering support and two output ends. The input end is connected to a power device. The one-way commutator converts one rotation into two rotations having the same rotation speed and opposite rotation directions. The two-way deflector respectively indirectly connects two shafts of a contra-rotating sleeve shaft to two output shafts thereof by means of two bevel gear pair. Two unidirectional deflecting torques respectively generated by the two bevel gear pairs have the same magnitude and opposite directions. By transferring by means of a bracket or an output sleeve shaft, the two unidirectional deflecting torques cancel each other. The two output ends are respectively connected to two propellers (or rotors). A turnaround control device controls the steering support to be turned around, the control torque required for co-rotating and contra-rotating is the same.
