non-coutner-rotating jet engines
Hello,
I'm sorry if this has been covered in another thread (I have looked but with no success), and also if this is not the most appropriate forum (the subject matter here seems rather more lofty than my question).
Is the overriding reason for jets using non-counter-rotating engines the cost involved in setting up two different assembly lines?
I'm not downplaying this as a factor, as I appreciate this extra cost would be huge. I have not found any information directly dealing with this issue in any detail, although a poster on another aviation forum hinted that the torque and p-factor experienced by an aircraft with jet engines is not as detrimental to its performance as that of a twin-prop?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
