	As was pointed out to me the Beechcraft Baron does not use contra-rotating propellers. A bit of research showed me that most U.S. built light twins do not use them either. My question is why? My guess is that the market for mirror-image engines (the most straightforward implementation) is too small. If you don't use mirror images, you have asymmetries in the powerplant engineering. I do wish that things were different. I consider the effects of P-factor and torque to be design defects. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.  |
