Why are we suddenly talking about torque, when a minute ago it was gyrational precession forces?

Like the flying wing, Contra-Rotation of rotating mass(es) has been an obsession with engineers, and repeatedly fails to impress.
Contra-rotating props have been very succesful in many aircraft - ask a Seafire pilot to compare his go-around experiences with a Sea Fury pilot for instance.
