reaction fin [rē′ak·shən ‚fin]

A multiple fin or stationary propeller installed ahead of a ship's propeller, with fins warped so that water flowing into the propeller rotates in the direction opposite, resulting in elimination of race rotation aft of the propeller, and thereby in increased efficiency.
