Each of the 300 tonne-class steel patrol vessels will have two HT1000 waterjets plus a central pair of smaller HM811 boost waterjets, driven by four 2.7 MW (3650hp) diesel engines to give a top speed of 35 knots. The new HT1000 unit features a high efficiency "mixed flow" pump that is more compact than competing waterjet models, and advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software was used extensively in its design. Thrust vectoring is achieved by a unique internal pivoting nozzle arrangement that deflects the entire water flow of each jet to port or starboard for steering, and a split-duct deflector for reversing the water flow for ahead / astern thrust control. The vessels diesel engines, gearboxes and waterjets are controlled using a integrated networked digital electronic control system. The thrust vectoring capabilities of the waterjets allow a vessel to stop very quickly (within 1-2 boat lengths), turn on the spot and move sideways, which is not possible with conventional propellers.
