I am talking about low wing single engine WWII fighter types.
In particular, I am interested in accelerated propeller airflow through the transition/curvature of the prop slipstream spiral distribution around the wing, from being partly below, towards mainly above the wing. This as the wing's position lowers, relative to the bottom half of the prop, compared to the airflow direction in a turn. Could the slipstream spiral "switch" to being mostly above the wing?
It seems odd that something behind the prop could affect, asymmetrically, the airflow through the prop... Or, at least, the ability of the prop to generate thrust evenly, throughout its surface.
