CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A 750-TON HYDROFOIL UTILIZING A SUPERCONDUCTING MAIN PROPULSION SYSTEM

S.T.W. Liang, L.F. Martin

Abstract

The conceptual design of a 750-ton hydrofoil utilizing a superconducting main propulsion system is described. This is a fully integrated design concept in which the superconducting machinery is introduced into the ship system design at its very inception. The critical areas evaluated are ship configuration, performance, propulsion system, propulsor, and auxiliary systems.
