Angle of prop shaft - theoretical question.
including P-51's?
charlie, if spiral prop wash is the reason for p-thrust ever wonder why a
tail
dragger with the tail down experiences so much more sidesways turning than
the
same aircraft at the same speed with the tail horizontal?
Uh..... duh.....
.......could it be because tail draggers have larger vertical surface
areas on the empennage to maintain directional control at slow ground
and air speeds?
