摘要

The water vehicle (1) has a fuselage area (7) lying under a water line (5) during operation, where the fuselage area has two sides (13, 15). A drive device provides forward and reverse driving for the vehicle. A control device controlls the drive device. A flow-through channel (11) is designed in the fuselage area between the two sides (13,15). A drive unit of the drive device is arranged in the channel, where the flow-through channel has a circular cross section.
