Sea turtles fly through the water, using the up-and-down motion of the front flippers to generate thrust ; the back feet are not used for propulsion, but may be used as rudders for steering.

A piece of a carpometacarpus supposedly from Oligocene rocks near Lusk, Wyoming was described as Gaviella pusilla, but this handbone also shows some similarities to the plotopterids which were flightless wing-propelled divers and if these are apomorphic would make an unconvincing member of the Gaviidae ( though it still could be a small-winged gaviiform in an – as of yet undescribed – family " Gaviellidae "): while the carpometacarpus in Gavia is somewhat convergent to that of wing-propelled divers, enabling the wings to be used as rudders for quick underwater turns, Colymboides still had an unspecialized plesiomorphic hand.

Classic prop-drives are generally more efficient and economical at low speeds, up to about, but as boat speed increases beyond this, the extra hull resistance generated by struts, rudders, shafts ( etc.

Typical uses are for the hulls of ships and boats, offshore pipelines and production platforms, in salt-water-cooled marine engines, on small boat propellers and rudders, and for the internal surface of storage tanks.

The rudders are silver and the background is blue.

In some flying wing designs, any stabilizing fins and associated control rudders would be too far forward to have much effect, thus alternative means for yaw control are sometimes provided.

Often rudders are shaped so as to minimize hydrodynamic or aerodynamic drag.

Outboard rudders are hung on the stern or transom.

Inboard rudders are hung from a keel or skeg and are thus fully submerged beneath the hull, connected to the steering mechanism by a rudder post which comes up through the hull to deck level, often into a cockpit.

Inboard keel hung rudders ( which are a continuation of the aft trailing edge of the full keel ) are traditionally deemed the most damage resistant rudders for off shore sailing.

The arms are derived from matters with which Ware is associated — the barge rudders reference the bargemen of Ware, with the red and white striping on the rudders being the livery colours of the City of London, associating the Ware bargemen's free entry rights to that City ( q. v.

Beside the distinctive skin folds, flying phalangers also have large, forward-facing eyes, short ( though pointed ) faces, and long flat tails which are used as rudders while gliding.

There are separate upper and lower rudders, and elevons.

* Divers Over the Side-" There are divers over the side, do not rotate screws, cycle rudders, take suction from or discharge to the sea, blow flood or vent any tanks, or operate any underwater equipment without first contacting the Chief Engineer and the diving supervisor.

They are attracted by the minimalist nature and amazing speeds that proas are capable of ( they may still be the fastest sailboats per dollar spent for the home builder ) but they often want the proa to do more ; adding cabins, different sailing rigs, and bidirectional rudders are common changes made.

Changes in the plane's direction are caused by the interaction of their flight control surfaces ( ailerons, elevators and rudders ) with the simulated atmosphere.

Chinese rudders were not supported by pintle-and-gudgeon as in the Western tradition ; rather, they were attached to the hull by means of wooden jaws or sockets, while typically larger ones were suspended from above by a rope tackle system so that they could be raised or lowered into the water.

The V-2 was guided by four external rudders on the tail fins, and four internal graphite vanes at the exit of the motor.

:* To control trajectory at lift off and supersonic speeds, heat-resistant graphite vanes were used as rudders in the exhaust jet.

On pusher configuration autogyros, the rudder is typically placed in the propeller slipstream to maximize yaw control at low airspeed ( but not always, as seen in the McCulloch J-2, with twin rudders placed outboard of the propeller arc ).

After-market suppliers claim ( i ) that VGs lower stall speed and reduce take-off and landing speeds, and ( ii ) that VGs increase the effectiveness of ailerons, elevators and rudders, thereby improving controllability and safety at low speeds.

When the basilisk detects danger it can swim at fast speeds using its crests as rudders.

There were ventral fins with rudders at the aft ends of the outer two hulls and elevons on the trailing edges of the connecting structures.

The airship had a tricycle undercarriage with a non-steerable nosewheel beneath the central hull and steerable ( via a connection with the rudders ) wheels at the tips of the ventral fins at the aft ends of the outer hulls.

The distinctive canards on the nose, known as " destabilizers ," serve to improve the rudders ' efficiency at high angles of attack.

Thus the center of effort of the sails needs to also be well forward, or at least needs to have a sail which is well forward which can be sheeted in to start the boat moving, allowing the rudders to bite and keep the boat from heading up when the entire sail area is sheeted in.

Initially, all components were built at Malton except for the bomb doors, flaps, ailerons and elevators, that were produced by Ottawa Car & Aircraft Ltd. Later, more of the parts were subcontracted out with Canadian General Electric Co. Ltd. of Toronto constructing the fuel tanks, tailplane, fins and rudders, while the outer wings were subcontracted to the Fleet Aircraft Limited plant in Fort Erie, Ontario.

Steering the airboat is accomplished by swiveling vertical rudders positioned at the rear ( stern ) of the vessel.

The ship was steered by means of two quarter rudders at the stern ( prymnē ), which also housed a tent ( skēnē ) that covered the captain's berth ( krab ( b ) at ( t ) os ).

That on the north side shows a bend charged with 4 horse-shoes ( fer-de-cheval ), being the canting arms of Ferrers, overlaid by 3 ship's rudders in bend sinister, the badge of the Willoughby family, inherited from Cheyne, as evidenced by an appearance on the earlier Cheyne tomb at Edington Priory, Wilts.

they appear as the four rudders of heaven in Spell 148 of the Book of the Dead, as four of the seven celestial spirits summoned by Anubis in Spell 17 of the Book of the Dead and through this are linked to the circumpolar stars of the Great Bear ( or Plough ): " The tribunal around Osiris is Imset, Hapy, Duamutef, Qebehsenuf, these are at the back of the Plough constellation of the northern sky.

On multi-engine propeller designs twin fin and rudders operating in the propeller slipstream give greater rudder authority and improved control at low airspeeds, and when taxiing.

In China, by the time of the Zhou Dynasty ship technologies such as stern mounted rudders were developed, and by the Han Dynasty, a well kept naval fleet was an integral part of the military.

Generally, a rudder is " part of the steering apparatus of a boat or ship that is fastened outside the hull ", that is denoting all different types of oars, paddles and rudders.

More specifically, the steering gear of ancient vessels can be classified into side-rudders and stern-mounted rudders, depending on their location on the ship.

Roman and particularly ancient Egyptian stern rudders featured again a different method of fastening where the stock, having a single point of contact with the stern, was additionally secured to the ship body by an upright rudderpost or braced ropes.

Stern mounted rudders started to appear on Chinese ship models starting in the 1st century AD.

Within decades, several other Han Dynasty ship models featuring rudders were found in archaeological excavations.

Further attested Roman uses of stern-mounted rudders includes barges under tow, transport ships for wine casks, and diverse other ship types.
