Here is an interesting site that has an interactive simulation of Voith Propellers.

Good find, wish that this had been around 10 years ago when I was sailing on a Voith tug.

Yes they are pretty neat sailed on a ferry for a while that used them. Other than problems associated with the seals due to the rope chokers trying to dredge with them they were very reliable and a breeze to operate.
