The Blohm \u0026amp; Voss BV141 is the best example of this. The design of this aircraft was in response to Luftwaffe's request for a short-range reconnaissance aircraft with an increased field of view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineer Richard Vogt submitted this project for an asymmetric aircraft with engine on the left and superglass cabin on the right. He housed the pilot, observer and tail gunner and gave them an excellent view of all horizons, except the left of course. The fuselage was on the left, with a 1000 hp Bramo 323 engine at the front and a vertical stabilizer at the rear. The prototype Bv 141A (with a symmetrical tail) flew on February 25, 1938 but the RLM rejected it because it lacked power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere will be only two series of 5 devices of products and production will be stopped in 1943.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bv 141B (with an asymmetrical tail) was more powerful thanks to its BMW engine but was little evaluated in operations because it was present in only one squadron on the Russian front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubsequent developments of this aircraft (back to a symmetrical structure) were good aircraft but experienced significant hydraulic and underpower problems.
