Why some airplane engines are mounted at an angle
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?
I just trim it outβ¦ Iβve been told not to tho
"Turn right to go left"
As a person who know a pilot, this is true.
I like silly sound
Okay but this doesn’t explain why it fixes it, you just wanted a clean loop.
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)
hey! ah didn’t know that. π€¨
Wouldn’t it be easier to have the rudder mounted at a slight angle instead of the entire engine and propeller?

Torque left the chat

That would make me so mad ngl
This triggers me.
Hate loops
Thanks
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..
It isn’t about air swirling around the fuselage, it’s to counteract the torque of the engine! π
sometimes the rudder is the one mounted on an angle
so when does this video end?
Man I fell for thatπ
Wrong! The thrust angle is offset to help counter p-factor. Stop spreading this spiral air myth.
If the engine was mounted straight, then you wouldn’t have that issue…
That’s cool
If you invited me to have a shower, I would refuse… vecause of your voice
I remember mounting the .25 engine on my RC plane at an angle, just because of this effect. Worked like a charm π
Not my instructor yelling "MORE RUFHT RUDDER"
This is one of several components of the left hand turning tendency of aircraft.
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
Bro skipped the lesson on engine torque and just spouting absolute bullshit ππ
Some times?
The Tik Tok users are not prepared for the full version of this video lmao
well, how much longer is that gonna take, anyway?
LEFT TURNING TENDENCIES MENTIONED WTF IS STRAIGHT FLIGHT!!!
Or there are just two contra-rotating propellers
The drawing: π
The music: π½
thatβs why my velum in gta always drags to the left omw to cayo
AVIATORS, ASSEMBLE
This loop
Did you know?
The βpropellerβ 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.
dope
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
It’s actually ‘Left Rudder’ to compensate
Beautifully looped shorts
The perfect loop doesn’t exi
No the engine isn’t. P factor is mitigated by the rudder.
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.
This was stupid as shit
