摘要：A combined Kort nozzle and rudder steering system for vessels requiring a high degree of maneuverability. A Kort nozzle is mounted around the propeller to direct the wash to generate a first turning source, and a rudder is mounted behind the Kort nozzle to react with the wash exiting the nozzle to produce a second turning force. The nozzle and rudder are pivoted in the same directions simultaneously, but with the rudder being pivoted at a faster rate than the nozzle. The nozzle is pivoted to an optimal maximum angle relative to the wash generated by the propeller and the rudder is pivoted to an optimal maximum angle to the wash exiting the nozzle.

主权项：1. A steering apparatus for a water-borne vessel, said steering apparatus comprising: a steerable Kort nozzle mounted above a propeller that directs wash from the propeller to generate a first turning force; a propeller mounted behind said Kort nozzle that reacts with said wash of said propeller exiting said Kort nozzle to produce a second steering force; and a mechanism that pivots said Kort nozzle and said rudder in the same direction simultaneously, with said rudder pivoting at an angle greater than said Kort nozzle; to a predetermined optimal maximum angle of said Kort nozzle to said wash generated by said propeller and a predetermined optimal maximum angle of said rudder to said wash exiting said Kort nozzle.
