   Contra-rotating propellers Contra-rotating propellers on the Rolls-Royce Griffon-powered P-51XR Mustang Precious Metal at the 2014 Reno Air Races. Aircraft equipped with contra-rotating propellers (CRP) [1] coaxial contra-rotating propellers, or high-speed propellers, apply the maximum power of usually a single piston engine or turboprop engine to drive a pair of coaxial propellers in contra ...

   A Mark 46 Mod 5A torpedo is inspected aboard a destroyer in April 2005. Contra-rotating propellers have benefits when providing thrust for boats for the same reasons. ABB provided an azimuth thruster for ShinNihonkai Ferries in form of the CRP Azipod, [1] claiming efficiency gains from the propeller (about 10% increase [2]) and a simpler hull design.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-rotating_propellers

   Counter-rotating propellers (CRP) are propellers which turn in opposite directions to each other. [1] They are used on some twin- and multi-engine propeller-driven aircraft. The propellers on most conventional twin-engined aircraft turn clockwise (as viewed from behind the engine). Counter-rotating propellers generally turn clockwise on the ...

6. Propeller (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_(aeronautics)

   A contra-rotating propeller or contra-prop places two counter-rotating propellers on concentric drive shafts so that one sits immediately 'downstream' of the other propeller. This provides the benefits of counter-rotating propellers for a single powerplant.

7. Douglas XB-42 Mixmaster - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_XB-42_Mixmaster

   The Douglas XB-42 Mixmaster is an experimental American bomber aircraft, designed for a high top speed.The unconventional approach was to mount the two engines within the fuselage driving a pair of contra-rotating propellers mounted at the tail in a pusher configuration, leaving the wing and fuselage clean and free of drag-inducing protrusions.
