Asymmetrical aircraft have left- and right-hand sides which are not exact mirror images of each other. Although most aircraft are symmetrical, there is no fundamental reason why they must be, and design goals can sometimes be best achieved with an asymmetrical aircraft.
Vogt came up with several other asymmetric designs, including the piston-jet P.194.01, but none of those were actually built. [1] [14] Several wrecked BV 141s were found by advancing Allied forces. One aircraft was captured by British forces and sent to England for examination. No examples survive today.
Profile Right profile. The Rutan Model 202 Boomerang is an aircraft designed and built by Burt Rutan, with the first prototype taking flight in 1996. [1] The design was intended to be a multi-engine aircraft that in the event of failure of a single engine would not become dangerously difficult to control due to asymmetric thrust.

The aircraft listed here were all designed by the aircraft manufacturing company associated with Blohm & Voss shipbuilders of Hamburg, Germany. The company changed its name several times, from Hamburger Flugzeugbau GmbH to Blohm & Voss Abteilung Flugzeugbau, and back to Hamburger Flugzeugbau GmbH (HFB). Some types therefore carry designations ...
P‑factor, also known as asymmetric blade effect and asymmetric disc effect, is an aerodynamic phenomenon experienced by a moving propeller, [1] wherein the propeller's center of thrust moves off-center when the aircraft is at a high angle of attack.
Boyd said that many of the older planes need a major overhaul of their engines and other equipment in order to keep operating. That can cost $1 million or more per aircraft, he said.
The proposed aircraft would be a pure flying wing (an aircraft with no other auxiliary surfaces such as tails, canards or a fuselage) where the wing is swept with one side of the aircraft forward, and one backwards in an asymmetric fashion. [11] This aircraft configuration is believed to give it a combination of high speed, long range and long ...
