Flexibility for covering efficiently any propulsion power requirement and CP Propeller application is the overall product target for MAN Diesel & Turbo.

Propeller and propulsion efficiency also carries the 'green aspect', as every gram of fuel saved by means of higher propulsive efficiency results in a reduced impact on the environment.

For maintaining and developing MAN Diesel & Turbo's position in the propulsion forefront, many resources are invested and the latest advanced design tools including e.g. CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), FEM (Finite Element Methods) and Topology Optimisation are deployed. To verify the calculations, MAN Diesel & Turbo cooperates with the world's leading test tanks and research institutes.

A new high-efficient VBS propeller generation - Mk.5, has been developed on the basis of the industry's state-of-the-art design tools combined with the vast experience accumulated from more than 7,000 propellers.
