“Learned something about twins today“.
Anybody else think this was going a different way. #disappointed.
I must be hanging out on reddit too much lately.

I know. Twins talk. Too easy to get into trouble...

have the descending blade

ah! obviously. Wow, I was totally thinking about it backwards. Makes sense

P-factor. Asymmetric thrust from the downward going blade at high angle of attack, such as in a climb after lifting off the runway. Better to have the the downward going blade closer to the fuselage to minimize the moment arm creating yaw in the event of an engine loss.

Thanks, that what happens when you're posting late at night after a long day. I totally had this backwards in my head. In the clear light of day it makes perfect sense
