The Scaled Composites Model 202 Boomerang is an aircraft designed by Burt Rutan , and built by his company, Scaled Composites . The purpose is to build a multi-engine airplane that does not become dangerously difficult to control in the event of a failure of a single engine. The result is an aircraft with a very asymetrical design, but none the less very breathtaking to look at.

The Boomerang is powered by two engines, with the right engine producing 14 Hp (10.5 kW) more power than the left one (the engines are in fact the exact same model, just rated differently)
