What is a Marine rudder leaves?

The rudder leaves is the core part of a ship's rudder, usually made of wood or steel.

The main function of the rudder leaves is to generate rudder force to control the course of the ship. The rudder leaves is usually composed of parts such as a rudder plate, a horizontal partition and a vertical partition, and is shaped like a flat plate or a plate with a streamlined cross-section.

During the steering of the ship, the rudder leaves turn through a connection with the rudder rod, thereby changing the direction of the astern water flow, creating a lateral force to counteract the ship's inertia, allowing the ship to turn as intended by the driver.

The design and manufacture of rudder leaves need to take into account many factors, such as weight, strength, corrosion resistance and reliability. Therefore, the material, structure and technology of the rudder blade have an important influence on the maneuvering performance and navigation safety of the ship.

In addition to the traditional wooden and steel rudder leaves, some modern ships also use rudder leaves made of composite materials to improve their durability and reduce weight.
