About this document
Understanding Left Turning Tendencies by sid25harth is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the four main left-turning tendencies of aircraft: torque, P-factor, spiraling slipstream, and gyroscopic precession. Torque causes the aircraft to yaw left on the ground and roll left in the air due to opposing forces from the clockwise rotating propeller. P-factor increases left yaw at high angles of attack from higher thrust on the right-moving blade. Spiraling slipstream induces left yaw and right roll from the spinning propeller
