A Twin Designed Backwards On Purpose - Rutan Boomerang

What happens when Burt Rutan decides the scariest part of flying a twin, engine-out asymmetric thrust, should be engineered out of the airplane? You get the Rutan Model 202 Boomerang: a one-off, asymmetric, forward-swept, composite “business twin” that looks like a mistake… until you understand the logic behind it. Wikipedia Designed around the mission of the Beechcraft Baron 58, the Boomerang chased Baron utility with less drama: a layout that intentionally offsets yaw when an engine quits, plus two turbocharged Lycoming TIO-360s rated slightly differently (200 hp on one side, 210 hp on the other). The single prototype (registered N24BT) first flew on June 17, 1996, and later returned to the spotlight at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 2011 during the “Tribute to Rutan.” Wikipedia And it nearly became more than a one-off: Ray Morrow and Neil Morrow pushed a commercial spin-off: the MB-300 via Morrow Aircraft Corporation and their air-taxi concept Skytaxi, even pursuing an FAA type certificate before the program stalled in the early 2000s. In this video, we break down the Boomerang’s wild geometry, the Mojave, California experimental design culture around Rutan/Scaled, and why one of GA’s smartest twin-safety ideas never became the next Baron-killer. #Aviation #GeneralAviation #BurtRutan #RutanBoomerang #ExperimentalAircraft #Oshkosh #EAA #TwinEngine
