A propulsion system that made ships maneuverable in a new way-this groundbreaking invention was achieved in 1926 by the Austrian engineer Ernst Schneider. His idea for a novel type of propeller was first proven in model tests at the Vienna Model Basin. Today, the Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) ranks among the most significant maritime inventions of the 20th century and has be-come indispensable in tug and ferry operations, the offshore sector, and numerous specialized applications.
This richly illustrated book comprehensively traces the history, technical foundations, and international success story of the propeller. Drawing on contemporary sources, previously unpublished archival material, and current research findings, it offers fascinating insights into a technical development that set new standards. With great expertise, the two authors illustrate how a bold engineering concept from the 1920s evolved into a highly efficient propulsion system used worldwide. In addition to technical milestones, the book also focuses on the people behind them. The portraits of key figures-above all Ernst Schneider-invite readers on an exciting journey marked by precision and inventiveness. At the same time, the book offers a glimpse into the future of a propulsion system that has retained its innovative power to this day. A well-researched and fascinating standard work for engineers, historians and maritime experts.
