Both the A350 and 777 can technically take off with only one engine.
- cmurf 2y agoSo called “accelerate-go” versus “accelerate-stop”. It is conditional, and not limited to these two models. They need to accelerate to a specific airspeed based on loading, temperature, and usable runway length. Prior to that airspeed, engine failure means abort. At and after reaching that speed, takeoff continues.

OK it didn't fly all the way to Dubai it had to divert. To Kuwait! https://www.businesstraveller.com/forums/topic/ek-a380-flies-transatlantic-with-3-engines-1-engine-shut-down-midflight/ https://www.businesstraveller.com/forums/topic/ek-a380-flies... Not exactly according to the rules but still.
