Default RE: Engine right thrust-why?

Then the fact that a WW II fighter had a huge fan slamming air on 1 side of the fuselage as the prop approached the upper vertical part of the fusulage ( the pilots left hand side ) and creating a vacumm on the opposite side after it passed the vertical, has nothing to do with pulling the nose ? That fusalage areas may not be equal above and below the prop centerline.
The larger area could be above or below.


Ok, Cyclops. Then why do radial nosed planes suffer the same fate?

Why is it a 10 : 1 or greater geared glider can be almost impossible to fly if torque is not the major factor.

Yet a ducted fan model that is equally over powered has no noticeable torque effet or " P " factor ?
