Good point. We should be discussing eight-engine planes.
- ivan_gammel 1y agoWe should be discussing no-engine planes, since they are obviously safer in such situations.
- FridayoLeary 1y agoLike the b 52 bomber. I always liked them. We could convert them for passenger flights. Airlines could develop luggage pods that hang from the wings and the planes support mid air refuelling so that could help with turnarounds. They also have tail guns for even more safety. Also huge bay doors which will make getting on and off the plane much faster.

- grues-dinner 1y agoThunderbird 2 was always the best one. Even if those stubby forward-swept wings don't really seem like what you need for the normal mission profiles!
- HeyLaughingBoy 1y agoDoor to door international service. I like it.
- Integrape 1y ago¿Por qué no los ocho?
- mikeyouse 1y agoThis is where some of the E-Plane concepts really shine. Let's see a flock of birds take out every engine on this NASA demonstrator: https://sacd.larc.nasa.gov/asab/asab-projects-2/x57maxwell/ https://sacd.larc.nasa.gov/asab/asab-projects-2/x57maxwell/
