Diagram illustrating corkscrewing slipstream around an airplane, showing prop rotation, yaw, force, and slipstream direction.

Spiraling Slipstream

Spiraling slipstream refers to the propeller blade forcing air rearward in a spiraling clockwise direction around the fuselage when the propeller rotates through the air in a clockwise direction as viewed from the rear. As a result, the airplane yaws left around the vertical axis.
