Hello, i am asking for the best allowed distance between side by side t200 thrusters working in heaving and surging directions. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Mahmoud,

Can you please clarify you question? What vehicle are you considering and what is the application? I am not sure I understand what you are asking, please provide more details.

Sorry about that, i am designing a small rov vehicle which will operate to 200m depth with 6 t200 thruster for heaving direction. i am asking if you know the minimum distance that to be between 1 thruster and another so maximum performance takes place. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Mahmoud,

At any reasonable distance, thrusters will always interact with each other and affect performance. However, unless they are right in front of each other, this should not be a significant effect.
