Ohh okay, like water spinning the opposite way in the toilet down south.

Unless the Europeans designed both engines as counterclockwise rotating, then no the right engine is not critical.

Remember the only reason we have a "critical" engine is because when you lose that engine the other engine creates the largest effect on control and performance.

Remember to read your PAST acronym.
