@jamesPLANESii but after you basically peppered me with things that make sense, I decided to make each prop 6 blades and the rear one is rotating the other way
@Bobyo Why did you use 3 propellers with 2 blades instead if 1 propeller with 6 blades
Apologies, I just recounted and there's 4 props... but why...
Actually I jave no idea what's going on with the props wtf I just counted 5 now
@Bobyo No they don't! Where did you get that from? That doesn't even make sense! If they all spun the same way, why not just use 1 prop with more blades? Way simpler, cheaper, and easier to maintain. Anyway they're called "contra-rotating props" because they spin in opposite directions, both contradicting eathother's effects, canceling out the prop torque and P-factor effects to make really high horsepower aircraft more flyable. They're also more efficient. The only reason we don't see them used often is because they're significantly more complex and heavier than normal propellers.

But hah, I see the floating plane now lol

@jamesPLANESii I used 2

@jamesPLANESii I just tested it, and they spin the same way

@jamesPLANESii actually, I think they both spin the same way. The "science" part which is not even science is the floating plane.
Confusion.
But wouldn't having an odd number of counter rotating props completely defeat the point of counter rotating props?
Perfect logical sense.
confoosion
