Torque is most noticeable when power is applied suddenly for example, during takeoff. As the propeller spins, it creates a spiral pattern of airflow that wraps around the fuselage and strikes the left side of the vertical stabilizer (rudder). Lets take a quick look at all four of them: 1.

USAF photo] The YF-96A was powered by the Wright YJ65-W-1 turbojet, which required Republic to deepen the F-84 fuselage by 7 inches and make certain changes around the cockpit/canopy area. This device was designed to counteract the torque of the XT40. Then confusion ensued.

The pilot is able to control the aircrafts roll by turning the control yoke or sidestick in the cockpit. What Is Aircraft Stability? Stability is the aircrafts tendency to maintain its attitude or orientation. This means that they have to be effective enough to counter the aircrafts inherent lateral stability.

” As Eldridge began unhooking and disconnecting everything and slid the canopy back, the Corsair was slowing down and the torque of the 4360 had pulled the aircraft into a steep diving turn to the right. ” Photo- Don “Bucky” Dawson As Eldridge stood up on the seat to bail out, his left foot got stuck in the cockpit.

Another advantage of the counter-rotating props is the elimination of torque roll. This is the tendency to dig in the left tip float during takeoff while countering engine torque. From the pilot’s seat it cruises near effortlessly and handles nimbly on land or water with a great combination of stability and modest control pressures.
