Boa noite.
Alguém poderia me explicar a seguinte frase do artigo "Forces affecting the ship" (pg 7) do PNA?
When operating astern, a given propeller is less efficient than when going ahead. This means that more be required for a given shaft rpm astern than for the same rpm ahead, but the same thrust will result from a given rpm whether turning ahead or astern.
A parte sublinhada me parece contraditória com a primeira parte.
