1962 Press Photo New type star-jet-boat

The novel propulation of this star-jet-boat depends on the recoil principle. Low-reaching propellers and the helm are replaced as the swivel-mounted jet which exits from the boat-rump above the water-line, operates by it's manoeuvrable and also for the steering. For this reason the boat is especially fit for driving in shallow waters. The turbine is driven by a 400 com-NSU/Wankel engine performing at 6000 turns /minute 43 PS and weighing only 87 pounds including the starter offering so a light source of power fit for favourable influence of the trim position.
