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

Thanks for following me!
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
very cool lmao, interesting indeed
