Why some airplane engines are mounted at an angle

There are more reasons! I’m working on a long-form video about them. Sub if you don’t wanna miss it.
If there are any questions or ideas, just leave a comment. I read them all.

    The what now?



  2. @berkutmotovlogs7954 on January 24, 2024 at 11:03 pm

    I just trim it out… I’ve been told not to tho

    "Turn right to go left"



  4. @SlimyCatMc on January 24, 2024 at 11:03 pm

    As a person who know a pilot, this is true.



  5. @cringygachakid on January 24, 2024 at 11:05 pm

    I like silly sound



  6. @ChristianMulvihillThom on January 24, 2024 at 11:05 pm

    Okay but this doesn’t explain why it fixes it, you just wanted a clean loop.



  7. @mikegeorge5473 on January 24, 2024 at 11:05 pm

    They’re tilted at a slight angle on all of my RC prop driven planes

    Speed running shorts

    tbh i thought it was gyroscopic effect (like in a helicopter)



  10. @warehousejo007 on January 24, 2024 at 11:07 pm

    hey! ah didn’t know that. 🀨



  11. @lucahermann3040 on January 24, 2024 at 11:07 pm

    Wouldn’t it be easier to have the rudder mounted at a slight angle instead of the entire engine and propeller?

    That would make me so mad ngl



  16. @cya6109 on January 24, 2024 at 11:16 pm

    This triggers me.

    Hate loops



  18. @konstantin7405 on January 24, 2024 at 11:18 pm

    Thanks



  19. @blablah127 on January 24, 2024 at 11:19 pm

    Its actually due to the rotational torque of the engine that causes the plane to drift one way or another. And its corrected by trimming the rudder. Brother how can you be so wrong..



  20. @Pcaputorpa on January 24, 2024 at 11:20 pm

    It isn’t about air swirling around the fuselage, it’s to counteract the torque of the engine! πŸ‘



  21. @wotwott2319 on January 24, 2024 at 11:23 pm

    sometimes the rudder is the one mounted on an angle



  22. @nobodyx6130 on January 24, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    so when does this video end?



  23. @catcat-hg7sp on January 24, 2024 at 11:31 pm

    Man I fell for thatπŸ˜‚



  24. @MrApru1 on January 24, 2024 at 11:31 pm

    Wrong! The thrust angle is offset to help counter p-factor. Stop spreading this spiral air myth.



  25. @Jackson_Zheng on January 24, 2024 at 11:31 pm

    If the engine was mounted straight, then you wouldn’t have that issue…



  26. @joannadrozdz3848 on January 24, 2024 at 11:32 pm

    That’s cool



  27. @unkokusaiwa on January 24, 2024 at 11:32 pm

    If you invited me to have a shower, I would refuse… vecause of your voice



  28. @FrankHagstrom on January 24, 2024 at 11:33 pm

    I remember mounting the .25 engine on my RC plane at an angle, just because of this effect. Worked like a charm πŸ™‚



  29. @harleygraber on January 24, 2024 at 11:34 pm

    Not my instructor yelling "MORE RUFHT RUDDER"



  30. @gigabyteguru2452 on January 24, 2024 at 11:34 pm

    This is one of several components of the left hand turning tendency of aircraft.



  31. @theinternaut1991 on January 24, 2024 at 11:35 pm

    That’s not why props pull the plane to one side ~ that doesn’t even make sense. It’s because the prop engine also wants to spin the airplane- Newton’s third law



  32. @brookiefish on January 24, 2024 at 11:36 pm

    Bro skipped the lesson on engine torque and just spouting absolute bullshit πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚



  33. @tylertalsma7794 on January 24, 2024 at 11:36 pm

    Some times?



  34. @emanuel3617 on January 24, 2024 at 11:37 pm

    The Tik Tok users are not prepared for the full version of this video lmao



  35. @pingasbungus4517 on January 24, 2024 at 11:37 pm

    well, how much longer is that gonna take, anyway?



  36. @maxortega8073 on January 24, 2024 at 11:39 pm

    LEFT TURNING TENDENCIES MENTIONED WTF IS STRAIGHT FLIGHT!!!



  37. @eduardoGentile720 on January 24, 2024 at 11:40 pm

    Or there are just two contra-rotating propellers



  38. @maxheadroomone on January 24, 2024 at 11:40 pm

    that’s why my velum in gta always drags to the left omw to cayo

  41. @silentfox139 on January 24, 2024 at 11:41 pm

    This loop



  42. @beannosman3855 on January 24, 2024 at 11:44 pm

    Did you know?

    The β€œpropeller” on the front of the plane is just a fan to keep the pilot cool? When it stops, you can see the pilot start sweating.



  43. @colehuston4510 on January 24, 2024 at 11:46 pm

    dope



  44. @user-ze8yn6ze4j on January 24, 2024 at 11:51 pm

    Also due to the P factor, the Angle of Attack of down going blade is greater there more thrust from the down going blade which can push the plane’s nose to left



  45. @George.Coleman on January 24, 2024 at 11:53 pm

    It’s actually ‘Left Rudder’ to compensate



  46. @Scubadooper on January 24, 2024 at 11:53 pm

    Beautifully looped shorts



  47. @AnteqMemes on January 24, 2024 at 11:54 pm

    The perfect loop doesn’t exi



  48. @isfet5149 on January 24, 2024 at 11:58 pm

    No the engine isn’t. P factor is mitigated by the rudder.



  49. @ciprianiuga1203 on January 24, 2024 at 11:58 pm

    Good video. But the main reason for this is somthing called the p factor, caused by propeller producing asymmetric thrust when the plane has an angle of attack, not the airflow acting on the rudder.



  50. @shannonrogue9676 on January 24, 2024 at 11:59 pm

    This was stupid as shit
