In this paper, a developed conceptual design for the blading systems of a large amplitude unsteady propulsion -HYPS- is described. The HYPS is an advanced HYdro-Propulsive System which confers upon its blading systems the ability to effectively receive the changing dynamics of the fluid environment. The paper continues by reviewing the analysis principles upon which the preliminary design was constructed. It further provides a general evaluation of the numerical method on the basis of system performance data gained through extensive trial.
