What is the best propeller system?
What is the best propeller system? Fixed pitch, or other? If you ask Chat GPT what is the best propeller system, it will tell you: “No single propulsion system is universally optimal. Selection should be application-driven, balancing efficiency, control, and lifecycle costs” At CJR, we agree. Our fixed pitch propellers will…
GOING LARGE
CJR Propulsion can now design and supply larger propellers, like this pair of 1.8m 5-blade propellers, which are leaving the factory this week and are destined for a 55m superyacht currently undergoing a refit. Using the latest CFD tools, our experienced team will identify the optimum bespoke propeller design for…
CJR Celebrates 10 years of Designing and Manufacturing Flow-Aligned Propellers
CJR Propulsion is celebrating 10 years since designing and manufacturing their first flow-aligned rudder system.

However, when a customer told us they needed…
How to choose a propeller: comparison trial data case study
The way a propeller is designed and manufactured can significantly improve speed and increase ride comfort. It can also reduce long-term costs thanks to lower fuel consumption and an extended working life. The case study below compares CFD-designed CNC-machined Class S propellers against hand-finished Class 1 propellers, so you can…
