Abstract
A model of the propulsion mechanism, I, II, III was based on a two-dimensional model of the Weis-Fogh mechanism and consisted of one or two wings in a square channel. The sailing and vibration performance characteristics of model ships were tested to compare with each other. we took results as follow. Thrust of propulsion model, I and III was increased by 31% and 43%, the speed of model ship by 20% and 23%, When compared to model II in same condition. The thrust improvement using the elastic spring wing was effective not only on all models but also in the real ship. The maximum amplitude and RMS were largest at the opening angle ${\alpha}=15^{\circ}$ and smallest at ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$ on the vibration of model ship. The thrust of propulsion model III with opening angle ${\alpha}=30^{\circ}$, phase ${\Delta}T=0^{\circ}$ was large, but the amplitude of vibration was small relatively.
