What is slipstream (one of 4 left turning tendencies) - ✔✔It happens when your prop
is moving fast and your plane is moving slow. And there's no better example of this than
takeoff.
During takeoff, air accelerated behind the prop (known as the slipstream) follows a
corkscrew pattern. As it wraps itself around the fuselage of your plane, it hits the left
side of your aircraft's tail, creating a yawing motion, and making the aircraft yaw left.
