Bennies of contra-rotating props-1. Elimination of prop side force (reactive torque)as well as vibration upon airframe.2. Higher efficiency with smaller installation dimensions.3. Looks cool as shit.
Wicked stuff!That reminds me...the "Sentimental Journey" B-17 flew into town this week, but I didn't get a chance to go out and take pics. They always close up the tours before I get off work!http://www.maxair2air.com/AIR/Profiles/sentimental-journey.html
