An air vehicle may include a body having forwardly-swept fixed wings or unswept fixed wings. The body may have a longitudinal axis continuously oriented parallel to a forward flight direction when the air vehicle is in flight. The air vehicle may include at least one of the following components being mounted on opposite sides of the body: longitudinally offset engine nacelles, asymmetrically lengthened engine nacelles, and longitudinally offset protruding aerodynamic surfaces comprising at least one of stabilizers, canards, empennage control surfaces, external stores, and high aspect ratio wings.
