The only instance of one wing having more engines than the other that I'e seen is when an extra (non-operating) engine is hung on a wing in order to transport it to another facility where maintenance is being performed. An aircraft as you described would be asymmetrical. Very few asymmetrical aircraft have been designed. During WW2, the Germans built a Blohm und VossBV-141 that had an engine on one side and the pilot in a fuselage on the other. The link below shows how the aerodynamic forces were balanced.

Why fixed wing aircraft need less powerful engine then a helicopter?
Helicopter engines require substantial power to propel the helicopter vertically from a standstill. With regards to planes, yes obviously planes need powerful engines, BUT planes speed up to 200km/h on runways before they start flying.
Who were the the pilots on US aircraft shot down in Desert Storm?
Approximately 37 US fixed-wing aircraft and 23 rotor-wing aircraft were lost during DS. Approximately 15 of those fixed-wing aircraft & 18 of the rotor-wing aircraft were lost to operational causes (accidents).
How do planes run?
Aircraft run, or more correctly, fly, by first having a light structure involving wings that will give it 'lift'. Most aircraft have engines to propel them. They may be piston engines, very similar to auto engines,but with a propellor instead of wheels. They may also have jet engines. - When the aircraft is propelled forward fast enough, the wing will generate lift and it will rise off the ground. Once in the air, the pilot controls the aircraft by movable devices on the wings and tail that let him turn it and make it go up or down.
How many American aircraft were lost in Vietnam War?
Approximately 2,000 fixed wing aircraft were lost; approximately 5,000 rotary-wing aircraft were lost.
What is The largest single engine propeller aircraft?
The largest single engine propeller driven aircraft is the Grumman AF-2S Guardian, a sub chaser of the Korean War era. It grossed at 25,500 lbs and was powered by a Pratt & Whitney R2800 engine of 2400 horsepower. It also had the largest Wing span for a single engine reciprocating aircraft at 60' 8".
How are engines in a multiengine aircraft numbered?
From left to right.On a twin engined aircraft, engine one will be on the left wing, engine two on the right. On a four-engined aircraft, engines one and two will be on the left wing, with engine one being the outer engine and engine two being the inner engine. Engine three and four will be on the right wing with engine three being the inner engine and four being the outer.On aircraft which have two engines in-line like the Cessna skymaster. The forward engine is engine one and the aft engine is engine two.
Why don't modern aircraft's have more than one wing?
The power generated by modern engines is the reason. Sufficient lift is gained by one wing with modern engines.
What is the difference between jet and airplane?
Any fixed-wing aircraft with an engine is an airplane. There are different kinds: piston-engine airplanes have piston engines driving propellers, (airplane engines are horizontally-opposed, like the engine in an old Volkswagen), turboprop airplanes have turbine engines with gearboxes that drive propellers, and jet airplanes have turbine engines that move the plane directly. So, factually, a jet is a type of engine on an airplane. However, over time, aircraft with jet engines have often been referred to as "jets."
What do most Cessna 406 look like?
All Cessna 406 are low wing, twin engine executive aircraft. -The "Cessna 406 Bushplane" in the book "Hatchet" is entirelya figment of the author's fertile imagination. The There is in fact NO such aircraft.
What a different aircraft pump feed with aircraft gravity feed?
If this question relates to the fuel system , A gravity feed system would need to have the fuel tanks in the wings that would need to be above the level of the engines, IE: in a high wing aircraft. A pumped system would be used in a low wing aircraft or in a engine that required a constant fast fuel flow.
What is a Cherokee aircraft?
The "Cherokee" is a model of Piper Aircraft. It is a single engine, propeller driven, low wing aircraft.
What type of engines does a Boeing 747-400 have?
The Boeing 747-400 series have a PW4000 turbofan engine aircraft. Each 747 carries 4 of them; 2 on each wing.
What is a Cessna 172?
It is a four-seat, single-engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft.
How has the aeroplane evolved?
Througout the past 100 years or so, the requirements for speed and altitude has meant radical changes in the design of the aircraft from the original bi-plane two and three wing design. Then to the monoplane with its single wing and into the jet era with deltoid wings. The latest designs of wing for the aircraft require that they can transition from atmospheric operation to space vehicles in such aircraft as the shuttle with its lifting body, and SpaceshipOne with its rotating wings. In the same period we have seen engines change from aircooled rotary petrol engines to fuel injection and turbo chargers in the second world war and Jet engines in the 50's. The future of aircraft engines may be exotic space plane types such as the Scramjet engine, or the Pulse jet.
What is the lift coefficient for aircraft powered by 320HP single engine aircraft with 3 blades made by Hartzell propeller?
I'm not sure if I understand you question but Lift Coefficient refers to the lifting force of a wing. Engines do not provide Lift; only Thrust.
What is a cessna?
Cessna is an aircraft manufacturer based in Kansas. They make business jets, single-engine turboprops and high-wing piston single-engine airplanes, and they used to make twin-engine piston aircraft. Clyde Cessna preferred to design his aircraft with a high wing above the cockpit. Cessna aircraft usually have this feature.
What is a Fixed Wing Airplane?
A fixed-wing aircraft is an aircraft which has wings that are attached to the aircraft and do not move. The term is used to differentiate airplanes from other types of flying vehicles such as lifting-body aircraft (balloons and blimps) or rotary aircraft such as helicopters and auto gyros. All airplanes are considered fixed-wing aircraft and even swing-wing or otherwise moving-wing airplanes are usually referred to as being in the fixed-wing category of aircraft.
