Description
The Becker Flap Rudder family consists of the classic Becker Flap Rudder and the Heracles Flap Rudder designs. The Becker Flap Rudder is the most popular rudder type worldwide and is derived from the innovative rudder developed by company founder Willi Becker. In combination with KSR bearing and twisted profile it is unlimited in size and speed. The Heracles Rudder is a Flap Rudder with closed linkage for enhanced safety, in icy conditions and sandy environments, for example.

These high-performance rudders have an optimum balance and flap area and thus offer top manoeuvrability and low fuel consumption.
