A long ago i have seen this weird propellers that looks deformed, some years i didnt knew why are made like that, so i made one using a blueprint, it was so hard to balance it

In the real life, this kind of propellers are intended to reduce the noise that a causes the airflow, the non-constant frequency of the propellers when spining makes a useful noise reduction

Aerospace applications: Helicopters like the AH-64 Apache have this kind of propellers in the tail rotor

    Really fascinating however you can’t call the Apache tail Asymmetric do to the fact that it is 100% symmetric when you go down it’s center it’s actually called a scissor rotor
