SCHOTTEL Ships Its Largest EcoPeller TEST

The integrated LE-Drive, also known as the embedded L-Drive, is a game-changing technology that provides ship designers with unparalleled flexibility in vessel design. With its compact design, the LE-Drive allows for greater freedom in the layout and positioning of ship components, making it easier to optimize the ship's performance and functionality.

One of the key advantages of the LE-Drive is its incredibly low levels of vibration and noise. This makes it an ideal choice for vessels that require quiet operation, such as research vessels or cruise ships. In addition, the LE-Drive's controllable pitch propeller allows for increased efficiency by enabling pitch adjustment. This means that the propeller can be optimized for different operating conditions, such as high speed or heavy load.

Another important feature of the LE-Drive is its full-feathering function. This allows the propeller blades to be moved to a low-resistance position when not in use, reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency. Overall, the integrated LE-Drive is a powerful tool for ship designers, providing them with the flexibility and performance they need to create innovative, efficient, and effective vessels for a variety of applications
