They’re angled to help balance out the twisting force the propeller creates, so the plane flies straighter and handles better. It’s like a little nudge to keep everything stable in the air

the angle fights yaw .. kisses efficiency .. and whispers "aviation poetry" to the wind

They’re angled to counteract torque and yaw from the spinning propeller, helping the plane stay straight during flight.

Ever flown in a small propeller plane before?
