Dear community,

I am wondering what is the sign convention for torque ("Moment") in the rotor file VSPAero outputs.

I understand the RPM sign in that file comes from the definition of Rvec and the signed Omega... and I understand Power is the product of the previous two.
But what is the convention for torque?  How do I know its sense?

Thanks in advance!
