I'm doing some research, trying to find information on airplanes with
counter-rotating props, but I'm getting a lot of junk hits from articles that use "counter-rotating" when they should mean "contra-rotating". I was always taught that "contra-rotating" was when you had two sets of blades spinning from the same hub, as in this: http://tinyurl.com/vxu9a and "counter-rotating" meant two different engines on a twin, each spinning in opposite directions, ala the Seneca and Twin Comanche. But according to google, more than half of the instances of "counter-rotating" are used to describe "contra-rotating". Are all those people wrong, or is the term interchangeable? (by the way, I'm trying to compile a list of counter-rotating twins, if anyone knows of any that are not listed he http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter...ing_propellers please post) |
