Default RE: Engine right thrust-why?


ORIGINAL: cyclops2

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.
...

Does the above mean to imply that the spiral component of the slipstream is very compact or dense compared to its aftward component?
