Author Ma Weiming admiral of the plan Chinese accepted CCTV interview in May that "this is one of our first team ahead of the world, has been used to a new generation .
is quite different from the traditional electric motor which by the propeller shield embedded in the drive wheel drive system with pump jet ring motor hood, jet vane the rotor cavity, to produce thrust.

theoretically, this technology does not drive the shaft, and the submarines should be quieter, so it's harder to find. In addition, the new propeller can reduce air bubbles, which will also help to reduce noise and improve the stealth performance of the submarine.
