Pitch, on the other hand, refers to the rotation around the vehicle's lateral or horizontal axis, which can be imagined as the nose of the vehicle moving up or down. This changes the vehicle's angle relative to the horizontal plane but doesn't alter the direction it's facing. 5 In ...

Developed in Finland jointly by the shipbuilding company Masa-Yards and ABB, Azipod is a marine propulsion unit consisting of a fixed pitch propeller mounted on a steerable gondola ("pod") which also contains the electric motor driving the propeller. Azimuth The horizontal angular distance from a...
