The correct answer is A. As your propeller turns one direction, the entire plane tries to rotate in the opposite direction. The engines on these planes generate more than 500 hp - two or three times the power of a good sized car. Combat aircraft engines have up to 2000 hp! The torque created by these engines can flip a plane right over during take-off if a pilot isn't careful. Service Flight Training Test #4 Your plane has all the features of an actual high-performance fighter plane. One of these features can cause a pilot trainee
some embarrassment if they are not careful. Here's two problems a rookie pilot can encounter with this new feature:
After take-off your plane doesn't fly very smoothly. There's a lot of vibration, wind noise and turbulence. As well, even with
the throttle pulled back you plane doesn't have the same speed as the rest of your formation. On landing, if you forget about
this feature, you will likely ruin your aircraft - or at least smash up the propeller and bend the air frame.
