Abstract
A brief mathematical description is given of the propulsion system, consisting of a power source and a controllable pitch propeller. The selection of control parameters is discussed for both diesel engines and gas turbine installations.
After selection and design of the control system, the behaviour of the entire plant during manoeuvres can be simulated by means of a mathematical model programmed for a computer. This is illustrated by some typical examples.
