  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. P-factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-factor

    For aircraft with counter-rotating propellers (i.e. not rotating in the same direction) the P-factor moments are equal and both engines are considered equally critical. Fig. 1. 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

  5. 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 ...

    It was made to be turned by the hand or foot." [12] The brass propeller, like all the brass and moving parts on Turtle, was crafted by Issac Doolittle of New Haven. [13] In 1785, Joseph Bramah of England proposed a propeller solution of a rod going through the underwater aft of a boat attached to a bladed propeller, though he never built it. [14]

  7. 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 ...

  9. Twin-screw steamer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-screw_steamer

    All propellers produce a transverse thrust, also called screwing effect or starting bias, which gives a tendency for end of ship to move sideways. In a twin-screw ships the port propeller is usually left-handed and the starboard right-handed, to cancel out the transverse thrust and avoid propeller walk. [2]
