This was my first thought as well. But then I remembered that modern twin-engine commercial jets can fly with one engine down in an emergency. Not an aircraft engineer, but I suspect the structure is strong enough to handle normal torques during turning.
- PopePompus 8y agoHeavy turbulence might be exciting, though.
- base698 8y agoThe complications with flying a twin engine during a single engine failure have more to do with flight characteristics than structural. Ie, does the rudder have enough authority to stop a spin or does the engine provide enough thrust to maintain level flight.
- eismcc 8y agoThe stratolaunch looks to have 2 rudders making things even more exciting.
