  • $\begingroup$ The drag from an engine nacelle is always just a small fraction of the thrust available from the engine. If it was any other way many aircraft wouldn't fly. Modern twin-jets are designed to fly on just one engine and handle the asymmetry. You could reduce the symmetry just by reducing the throttle setting, but then you'd likely start losing significant height. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 8 at 6:20
