Default Can a brushless motor turn in reverse

I would like the same air flow over both sides or would it matter on this rotowing?Or do I wire the speed control differently?Thats alot of questions for one sentence.The motors are 2w-23 Brushless?

Yes, you can switch two of the motor leads on a brushless motor and it will turn backwards, but in this case your rotor wouldn't turn like that would it?

I am thinking of having the same flow over both left and right side.This is a Rotary wing aircraft so of course I would have to change the prop also.You are right it would'nt turn very well with one motor pulling and the other pushing.Thanks for the motor imfo!
