A design defect is a problem caused by some aspect of the design. I
don't know why you would consider the effects of propeller

type of propulsion.


An aspect of propulsion that constantly pulls the aircraft to one side
sounds like a defect to me.

It is a simple matter accounted for by Newtonian physics. Apparently, the
"designer" of that aspect of the real world doesn't see a problem with it,
as "real world version 2.0 has yet to be released, AFAIK. BTW, pilots of
propeller-driven aircraft don't see a problem with it either.

TANSTAAFL.
