The net torque is zero, hence changes can occur quickly. The blade
configuration always has metal in the flow for maximum efficiency, no
chopping.

Anyone who knows anything about propellers knows sternwheelers are used to
cut seagrass.

Is that to cut the sea grass?

After hitting the lottery for big bucks, you have nearly completed
your 150' new sailing mega yacht. Included on your new toy are both a
bow and stern thrusters--for side-to-side control..

What sort of prop would you want if you were concerned about precise
speed control, and being able to back down nearly instantaneously?

Money is, of course not a concern.
