ROTOR BOW RUDDER The rotor bow rudder was especially developed for vessels with large wind surface areas, such as container vessels and push boats with large barge convoys. The rotor bow rudder is based on the Magnus effect principle. A pressure differential is generated by placing a rotating cylinder in an oncoming water current which results in a thrust force larger than a conventional rudder. The rotor bow rudder takes up very little precious onboard space. Rotor Bow Rudder Systems.pdf
