Can a plane takeoff with just one engine ?
- hlandau 9y agoYes. Twinjet airliners must be able to take off if one engine fails at or after V1.
- FabHK 9y agoWhich, incidentally, means that twins are quite powerful - a twin has 100% more engines (thus, power available) at takeoff than needed, while a quad has 33% more. Thus a twin has 50% more power than a similar 4 engine. At least conceptually-ish.
