With a helicopter, using only one rotor will lead to unwanted torque, and uneven lift. The problem is fixed by adding a secons propellor in the reverse direction. With this in mind, how do single propellor planes work? They dont have a rear propellor to keep it stable, so wouldnt the torque rotate the entire plane?
@jamesPLANESii @livetoplay11 Thanks.
I hope what I'm about to say isn't confusing.
There is air everywhere, the wings contact that air. The air is like less dence water. It can resist the the wings movment so the torque can't spin the plane. When the flaps on the plane rotate it moves the air inbetween them thus creating lift/roll/yaw. Was that too confusing?
Also helicopters have less wing surfaces to slow this down.
They so I fact create a little bit of toque. It's just their props ar much Smaller, less powerful and lighter. Single engine WWII fighters have quite a lot of talk from the props. It's why planes such as the P-38 Lightning and later versions of the mosquitos had contra-rotating props.
now that I think of it...........
