Default Contra-rotating engine revisited

MXs Maniac, sounds like a handle for a motocross rider or
wannabe...

Test for torque.

Jump your YZ400 and while in the air, open the throttle, why
does the front wheel move and which direction? Stab the
rear brake just before landing, why is that a bad idea?


Get your MSFS and setup the P51 Mustang with the big HS
prop. In flight at 75 mph and 100 feet, slam the throttle
wide open, report what happens?

| That's because the amount of torque changes with the
rotational speed
| of the engine. However, as long as it is turning, it is
exerting
| torque on the rest of the car.

For him, it probably causes the infamous "Blue Screen of Death".
