Two unidirectional deflecting torques respectively generated by the two bevel gear pairs have the same magnitude and opposite directions. By transferring by means of a bracket or an output sleeve shaft, the two unidirectional deflecting torques cancel each other. The two output ends are respectively connected to two propellers (or rotors). A turnaround control device controls the steering support to be turned around, the control torque required for co-rotating and contra-rotating is the same.
