LINKAGE SYSTEM Low-wear and precise – ensures reliable, backlash- free flap operation
RUDDER STOCK Engineered for high torque in combination with the flap mechanism
MANOEUVRING SYSTEMS BECKER FLAP RUDDER
MOVEABLE FLAP Provides increased lift at the same rudder angle, reduces turning radius
RUDDER TRUNK Adapted to the requirements of the moveable flap
MAIN RUDDER BLADE Hydrodynamically optimised profile for maximum lift with minimal resistance
HINGE SYSTEM Designed for high loads with minimal wear
LEADING EDGE Shaped to prevent flow separation and cavitation
FLAP ANGLE UP TO 65°
Maximum manoeuvrability meets hydrodynamic efficiency
Exceptionally compatible with
Engineered for efficiency. Designed for durability.
Ships with high manoeuvring demands and/or high vessel responsiveness already at small rudder angles
The Becker Flap Rudder represents the culmination of decades of research, development, and practical experience, and is recognised as the most mature flap rudder design in the shipbuilding industry. It offers unparalleled manoeuvrability at all speeds while ensuring the best possible efficiency of the vessel. The design, originated by company founder Willi Becker, has become the global standard among ship operators.
Increased lift in all conditions, improving the vessel's hydrodynamic performance and resulting in smaller turning circles
