The analysis of the rotary jet as a marine propulsor showed considerable improvement in performance over the propeller for highly loaded applications such as tow boats and tugs. This advantage was shown to decrease with loading coefficient. This novel propulsor also proved to be superior to water jet systems. A test apparatus was built and installed in the George Washington University (GWU) water tunnel. Testing of a rotor identified possible improvement in the design and demonstrated the ability to develop thrust of the shroud. A bladed rotor design was investigated and proved very promising.
