About

To enhance the performance of the VP1304 marine propeller, aNolyze hydrodyNomic parameters like thrust and torque coefficients. Reduce hub vortex formation, caused by low-pressure regions near the hub during operation, by attaching a propeller boss cap. This modification increases thrust, reduces torque, and improves overall propeller efficiency, minimizing energy losses.
