  2. Propeller walk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_walk

    A right-handed propeller in forward gear will tend to push the stern of the boat to starboard (thereby pushing the bow to port and turning the boat counter-clockwise) unless the rotation is corrected for. In reverse gear, the turning effect will be much stronger and with opposite direction (pushing the aft to port). A left-handed propeller acts ...

  3. Astern propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astern_propulsion

    Astern propulsion (as applied to a ship) is a maneuver in which a ship's propelling mechanism is used to develop thrust in a retrograde direction. Astern propulsion does not necessarily imply the ship is moving astern (in reverse); astern propulsion is used to slow a ship by applying a force in the direction of the bow of the ship, instead of ...

  4. Propeller theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_theory

    A propeller that turns clockwise to produce forward thrust, when viewed from aft, is called right-handed. One that turns anticlockwise is said to be left-handed. Larger vessels often have twin screws to reduce heeling torque , counter-rotating propellers , the starboard screw is usually right-handed and the port left-handed, this is called ...

  5. P-factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-factor

    The operating right-hand engine will produce a more severe yawing moment towards the dead engine, thus making the failure of the left-hand engine critical With engines rotating in the same direction, P-factor will affect the minimum control speeds ( V MC ) of the aircraft in asymmetric powered flight.

    It was decided to bring the Koonya up alongside the pier on the northern side of the bridge, but on the order to "go astern" being given and the engines reversed It was quickly discovered that the propeller, was not sufficiently powerful in its injured condition to take the way off the vessel, and though lines were put out, and every endeavour ...

  8. Critical engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_engine

    On propeller aircraft, there is a difference in the remaining yawing moments after failure of the left or the right (outboard) engine when all propellers rotate in the same direction due to the P-factor. On turbojet and turbofan twin-engine aircraft, there usually is no difference between the yawing moments after failure of a left or right ...

  9. Asymmetrical aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetrical_aircraft

    Handed engines have rarely been used, owing to cost, but were sometimes used for naval aircraft such as the Sea Hornet, to simplify their handling across a narrow carrier deck. The wake of a propeller gains angular momentum, which can produce an asymmetric effect over the tail control surfaces, especially during takeoff when the engine power is ...
