The Company:
NAMJet’s advanced marine propulsion systems have set the standard for thrust, durability and speed for more than 25 years. Leading the way are its TRAKTOR Jet line of high-thrust marine jets designed for a variety of commercial, military and workboat applications. NAMJet won a large military boat building contract in March to supply tractor jets for the U.S. Army’s one-of-a-kind bridge erection boats.   
 
The Case:
According to NAMJet, its TRAKTOR Jet’s mass flow design pumps more water than high-speed jets, providing improved thrust per horsepower and eliminating cavitation from 0-35 knots to maximize cruise speeds under heavy load. TRAKTOR Jets, rated for speeds up to 35 knots, have 2-3 times the impeller clearance of high-speed jets, allowing them to operate at much lower RPM.
