Just for fun, a couple other pictures of spiral slipstream from the full-size world. If you drill into the photo of the Corsair, you can see the prodigious amount of right rudder the pilot is applying (yes I know there is p-factor and gyroscopic precession in play as well). Quote !
Hi Bill,
You are correct to point out the rudder.
However 'p-factor and gyroscopic precession' are NOT in play. So the point you make re the rudder is even more valid re 'SSS'.
The p-factor and gyroscopic precession only come into play during pitch and or yaw changes.
The torque is in play but that is transferring into the deck via the UC.
