Your answer to P-factor on turbines:
The relative wind on a turbine engine is always straight through the engine. The descending blade creates the same amount of lift as any other blade. P-factor is only prevalent at high angles of attack with propellers. Turbines don't like varying angles of attack hence the shrouds typically beginning far in front of the fan.
