Angle of prop shaft - theoretical question.
the original (and incorrect) term was "P-Torque". that was replaced (to some
extent) by the term "P-Thrust" as in asymetrical thrust due to the angling of
the disc of the prop relative to forward motion. "P-Factor" is now used by
idiots and for idiot who don't have a clew what is going on.
btw ricky, you must the only person on the planet who claims to have an Airline
Transport rating who doesn't know the difference between slots and slats.
steve, bone up on "P-torque" or "P-thrust" or more accurately "asymetrical
thrust". It is a common problem for aircraft with "conventional" landing
gear
(meaning two wheels up front and one on the tail), and has been fully
understood since the early days of WWII.
For christsakes, Jax, at least get the term correct, it's P-factor you
cretin.
Just for grins how about telling us all about your taildragger flying
experience. For a know-nothing wannabe you sure pump out a lot of
bull**** about stuff you obviously have no personal experience with.
