Title: Andrew S. McAuliffe and Marine Propulsion Innovation.

Introduction

Andrew S. McAuliffe is an inventor associated with Edgewater, Florida, and Brunswick Corporation. His patent work addresses marine vessel maneuverability through a propulsion system designed to produce controlled sideways movement.

Latest Patents

McAuliffe’s listed patent, “Marine Propulsion System and Method with Single Rear Drive and Lateral Marine Drive,” describes a vessel equipped with a steerable rear drive along its centerline and a lateral drive near the bow. The rear drive can provide forward and reverse thrust and steer through a range of angles, while the bow drive generates lateral thrust. A control system responds to a user’s sway-demand input by coordinating the steering and thrust of both drives to move the vessel sideways. McAuliffe is listed with 1 patent.

Career Highlights

McAuliffe’s documented innovation focuses on coordinating marine drives to improve vessel control. The system’s combination of a steerable rear drive, a lateral bow drive, and automated control is intended to translate a user’s sideways-movement command into coordinated propulsion.

Collaborations

McAuliffe is associated with Brunswick Corporation. Kyle F. Karnick is identified as a coworker.

Conclusion

Andrew S. McAuliffe’s patent describes a coordinated marine propulsion system that supports controlled sideways movement, reflecting his work in vessel maneuverability.
