  2. Asymmetrical aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetrical_aircraft

    The BV 141 was heralded by the Germans as the first asymmetric aircraft, [2] an evaluation batch was built, but it was never ordered into full-scale production. The BV 237 ground-attack aircraft was ordered but later cancelled. Other projects and design studies of the period included: Messerschmitt P.1109 oblique wing jet

  3. Aerodynamic center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamic_center

    The distribution of forces on a wing in flight are both complex and varying. This image shows the forces for two typical airfoils, a symmetrical design on the left, and an asymmetrical design more typical of low-speed designs on the right. This diagram shows only the lift components; the similar drag considerations are not illustrated.

  4. Airfoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfoil

    Airfoil design is a major facet of aerodynamics. Various airfoils serve different flight regimes. Various airfoils serve different flight regimes. Asymmetric airfoils can generate lift at zero angle of attack, while a symmetric airfoil may better suit frequent inverted flight as in an aerobatic airplane.

  5. Asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetry

    Asymmetry is the absence of, or a violation of, symmetry (the property of an object being invariant to a transformation, such as reflection). [1] Symmetry is an important property of both physical and abstract systems and it may be displayed in precise terms or in more aesthetic terms. [2]

  6. Queen Anne House: A Turreted, Transitional Design (PHOTOS) - AOL

    www.aol.com/news/2012-05-01-queen-anne-house...

    The Queen Anne home is characterized by its asymmetrical design. With a large projecting gable on one side and a tower on the other, the Queen Anne is a tall, upright and proud house.

  7. Symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry

    By creating a logo on a grid and using the theory of symmetry, designers can organize their work, create a symmetric or asymmetrical design, determine the space between letters, determine how much negative space is required in the design, and how to accentuate parts of the logo to make it stand out.

  8. Symmetrical components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetrical_components

    The basic idea is that an asymmetrical set of N phasors can be expressed as a linear combination of N symmetrical sets of phasors by means of a complex linear transformation. [1] Fortescue's theorem (symmetrical components) is based on superposition principle , [ 2 ] so it is applicable to linear power systems only, or to linear approximations ...

  9. Information asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_asymmetry

    In contract theory, mechanism design, and economics, an information asymmetry is a situation where one party has more or better information than the other. Information asymmetry creates an imbalance of power in transactions, which can sometimes cause the transactions to be inefficient, causing market failure in the worst case.
