Question 321General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhich of the following propulsor types represents the proper terminology for a Z- drive?
AAzimuthing propulsor
BJet drive
CCycloidal propeller
DAzipod propulsor
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Azimuthing propulsor. An azimuthing propulsor, such as a Z-drive, is a type of propulsion system where the propeller or other propulsor can rotate 360 degrees, allowing for precise maneuvering and control of the vessel. This makes it the proper terminology for describing a Z-drive, which is a common propulsion system used on many vessels, including those operated by the US Coast Guard. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe a Z-drive. Jet drives, cycloidal propellers, and azipod propulsors are different types of propulsion systems that function differently from an azimuthing propulsor.
