I am not sure I understand your post exactly, but reverse rotation produces a torque vector towards the out side of the circle. (based on the normal way we fly) I don't think there is a great advantage, but it is frequently used in carrier , speed and racing. With the advent of electrics we are seeing it more often. However, I always ran my reed valves in reverse rotation to improve line tension.
