Sure most multi props are like this? but it would be of help if anyone can offer some input on this matter.
Thanks for any help...
The "Jetstream" engines as on a lot of Aircraft turn in opposite directions to counteract the effects of torque, as if the both turned one way there would be a tendency for the aircraft to roll. As for the gearing I do not know.
