[2] Its Austrian inventor, Ernst Schneider, had a chance meeting on a train with a manager at Voith's subsidiary St. Pölten works; this led to the turbine being investigated by Voith's engineers, who discovered that although it was no more efficient than other water turbines, Schneider's design worked well as ...
A Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) is a practical cyclorotor that provides instant thrust in any direction. There is no need to turn a propulsor. There is no need to turn a propulsor. Most ships with VSPs do not need or have a rudder.

She was the first British vessel driven by Voith Schneider propulsion units. [1] Throughout the war, she was on the Lymington-Yarmouth service on the Solent. A slab of concrete placed above her wheelhouse offered some protection against an airborne attack. By 1972, Lymington was too small for her owners' needs. The arrival of new ferries led to ...
Protector is propelled by a pair of Voith-Schneider propellers, an advanced propulsion system that bears some resemblance to helicopter propulsion, and enable instantaneous changes in the propeller thrust. [1] She is 108 feet long, with a maximum speed of 13 knots.
