Understanding P-Factor

This video is about P-Factor, I use terms interchangeably like thrust and lift in the explanation, so feel free to comment if you think the words don't jive up.

The one thing that you need to keep in mind about Asymentrical Trust (P-Factor) is that it is solely dependant on the pitch. If you increase your angle of attack (AOA), you will encounter P-Factor. When the airplane has a positive AOA, you will have a higher thrust on the descending blade(s). When the AOA is negative, the ascending propellor blade(s) will produce a higher thrust.


Please keep in mind this is only for powerplants that spin the propeller to the right from the pilots' perspective.
