ABSTRACT:
A marine vessel having a propeller tunnel possessing a flow-favorable cross-sectional configuration following the flow lines of the water. Within the propeller tunnel there is mounted a propeller essentially throughout one-half of its circumference. An adjustable control plate can be extended in order to detach the flow of the water from the surface of the tunnel during rapid travel of the marine vessel. In this case, the propeller functions as a partially immersed propeller at a high rotational speed. There can be provided a control device which adjusts the control plate as a function of the rotational speed range within which the propeller operates. The propeller can be an adjustable propeller conjointly adjustable with the control plate.
