I understand that x years ago, major S61 operators were already considering to re-engine with the Turbomeca Makila engine however, this potential major improvement in power had to be abandonded when the operators committee discovered that the Makila turns the other way around * ) as compared to the CT58.....
True or False ?
* ) Likewise the British made piston engines -such as the Gypsy Major / Queen - turns counter clockwise ( viewed from the rear ) while the US made Lycoming and Continental engines turn clockwise.
Vive la difference......
