ABSTRACT:
A water jet propulsion apparatus creates a high speed water jet rearwardly through a duct in a hull by injecting air and water into the duct from at least one injection port, thereby to impart a thrust to the hull. The need of forming protrusions such as an impeller within the duct thus is eliminated, and the resistance loss of the jet is minimized. Propulsion efficiency is improved remarkably and noise is reduced, while at the same time course stability is improved.
