Thumbs up

Yes, there's a critical engine in a Jet and it depends only on its spin.
Lets say that the engines on a specific aircraft spin clockwise from behind.
The left engine would be the critical because the right engine will have the biggest momentum.
That's because on the right engine the center of momentum will be slightly to the right of its axe due to the spin direction.
