When you look into the cockpit of an ATR 42 or 72, you might notice something peculiar. One of the power levers is shorter than the other. Why?
Correction:
- At 2:53, there's a picture of a P-38 Lightning. It had counter-rotating propellers. The first prototype had propellers rotating inwards as shown in the picture. But it was discoverd that the slipstream from the propellers negatively affected the horizontal stabilizer. Consequently, all other P-38s had propellers rotating outwards. That solved the issue with the stabilizer.
