Not forgetting the Airbus A400 Atlas has "handed" props that rotate in different directions on each wing to minimize torque effect. Airbus realized that "handed" engines would be a problem from a logistics viewpoint, so one engine on each side has a reversing gearbox between the engine and the prop to produce a clockwise and counter-clockwise prop on each wing. All very clever.
