<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a propulsion system with less total space utilized in a surface vessel. <P>SOLUTION: The propulsion system 2 is provided with: a pod housing 8 having a front end 10 and a rear end 12; a propeller 14; and a propeller shaft 16. The propeller 14 is provided on the outside in the front end 10 of the pod 8 and is rotatable around the propeller shaft 16, and the propeller shaft 16 is drive-connected to a drive means. The drive means has a transmission device 20; and a power device 22 in the form of a diesel engine. The power device 22 is shown in a state separated from the transmission device 20 and is arranged in a structure of a hull 6, and in the embodiment, the transmission device 20 is substantially arranged on the outside of the structure of the hull 6. A port 24 is provided on the hull 6, and an interface device 26 is extended so as to pass through the port 24. The interface device 26 provides a means for transmitting torque of the power device 22 to the transmission device 20. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
