Why is it again they have two?



Basically two fans give ya more 'zoom' WHEN both engines are running.

Beyond the cost, I've never found twins the least bit enticing (obviously
I'm talking about an airplane here grin/wink) - when you lose an engine in
a twin you have TWO emergencies; one is an engine out emergency, and the
other is the one created by the asymmetrical thrust when only one engine is
operating (God forbid it should be what they refer to as the critical engine
that goes out - will produce a REALLY nasty yaw among other things).


How much twin time do you have?
