Hello Michael:

To answer your questions:

Yes, every action requires a reaction.
 No, it is canted for P-Factor which is the yaw produced by the prop having a different left to right thrust when its axis of  rotation is not  vertically aligned with the direction of flight (as in a climb).

Each wing is already lifting ~1800 lbs so another 10% isn't huge at normal flight speeds. After all, if you pull 5 Gs you are increasing the loading by 500%.  It is the extra 10% at low speeds, at or near stall, that could mess you up.

That is my theory, I could be wrong.  It would be enlightening to have a  turbine pilot's views and experiences (at a safe altitude) on this topic.

Brent Regan

Brent,

 

Is that really true?  Isn't the turbine canted like a piston install to compensate for torque?  I am not discounting the torque issue entirely, but that much torque would have huge airframe implications even in the steady state configuration.

Given the 745 available horsepower (near sea level) and the 2,067 RPM prop speed I calculated an engine reaction torque of 1,893 foot pounds, roughly the same as putting a 200 pound weight about mid span on the aileron
