Question 215Electricity & Electronics - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passWhat statement is TRUE concerning the Azipod propulsion system?
AIt is an electric drive system in which the motor drives a controllable-pitch propeller (CPP).
BIt is an electric drive system where the propulsion motor is installed in a submerged housing capable of swiveling.
CIt is an electric drive system that incorporates a DC motor.
DIt is an electric drive system using water jets.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B. The Azipod propulsion system is an electric drive system where the propulsion motor is installed in a submerged housing capable of swiveling. This allows the thrust to be directed in any direction, providing increased maneuverability and efficiency compared to traditional shaft-driven propellers. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the key features of the Azipod system, which is the ability to rotate the submerged propulsion unit to change the thrust direction.
