Think about the one blade for a moment. It produces thrust one side of the
airplane only, left, top, right then bottom. And that doesn't include the a
symmetric effect of angle of attack.The airframe will oscillate in a corksc
rew fashion, what a horrible prospect I can almost feel my teeth rattling
at the thought of it!=0A=0A2 stroke diesel? Now that is a good idea, most e
fficient form of piston engine.=0AGraham=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A____________________
