Rudder

9/20/2024

Balanced Barn door rudder which can either be attached from just the top or form a top and bottom, which is a rudder with a shaft through the middle which will spin the rudder. 

Benefits:

  • Less force needed so steer the rudder 
  • relatively simple to use a stepper motor with
  • can be made modular

Cons:

  • Fails to support big boats
  • more likely to break if hits an object
  • If we attach only from the top is less stable
