The Azipod (azimuthing podded drive) is a podded electric main propulsion and steering device driving a fixed pitch propeller (fpp) at a variable rpm. The pod is azimuthing (steering around its vertical axis) infinitely by 360 degrees. The propulsion system is optimized to preferentially use a pulling propeller (called a "tractor" type Azipod)
