Click the link! 👆 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ How World's Largest Cruise Ship Propellers Are Made How are giant cruise ship propellers made? In this Deckside Insider documentary we follow the full manufacturing process behind the propellers of the world's largest cruise ship, Icon of the Seas. It starts with cavitation testing and skewed blade design, then moves to casting tons of molten nickel aluminum bronze in a sand mold, followed by precision machining, polishing and balancing. From there we cover Azipod installation at Meyer Turku and sea trials. You'll also see why Queen Mary 2 carries spare propeller blades on deck, how divers clean propellers in port, and why the Titanic's propellers were bigger than any on today's mega ships.
