Some more evidence. Notice more soot on the right wing?
I can see how there would be more soot on the right wing, but wouldn't the wing act as stator and stop the airflow from spirallingfrom the wing back?
I don't think a wing will completely straighten out a spiraling airflow of a propeller. It likely does straighten it to some degree however.
Spiraling slipstream as one of the left turning tendencies is what is taught to everyone taking flying lessons. It was taught when I was a student and I taught it when I was a flight instructor and taught ground school. I'd like to see credible evidence that spiraling slipstream does not exist if this is in fact the case.
This is like me arguing with a doctor that aspirin doesn't work because it didn't cure my headache when in fact the doctor can explain to me scientifically why aspirin does work.
