NOTE: Just to keep the pissy-Brits happy, one of my favorite Churchill quotes:

"The Yanks will do the right thing............after they've tried everything else."
The front and rear engines are the same rotation, but having one engine fiited in reverse, you will automatically get opposite rotation without the complication of reverse gearing.
