Bv. 141 Worlds Most Asymmetric Aircraft
made in nazi germany as a reconnaissance aircraft, handled well, but people could not get past the unconventional design and not many were produced, personally its my favorite aircraft, german ww2 planes were simply artful, even though many sucked outright <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SV96hXwWN7c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> this second video is wrong, the center airflow is actually between the fuselage and crew compartment <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BGL_tqwjA_Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The last picture is of a prototype, they were seeing where best to place the crew pod  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Bv. 141 Worlds Most Asymmetric Aircraft
Doesnt look like it would be very fun. The genius who designed it put the cockpit on the wrong side of the aircraft. With propeller torque and the added weight of the cockpit on that side of the wing (not to mention prop wash), that plane looks like it would be really heavy on the right side.

nope its balanced the benefits are greater visual range for crew, and no engine vibrations, there have been others too, there was a singe engine asymmetric p-38 used by the US at the same time  · |

Re: Bv. 141 Worlds Most Asymmetric Aircraft
It could be balanced on the ground, yes. The propeller spins to the right side though, which would torque the plane to the right, and the prop wash would hit the left side of the tail and push the right wing down more. Thats how I see the design. In my opinion, the cockpit would be better off on the left wing, not the right. Edit: Im wrong. The torque would twist the aircraft down on the left. |
