Default Why are multiple engines different?

King Airs probably could, if you could get them going straight in the
beginning. But no, it's a LIGHT TWIN, with conventional Lycoming 180HP
engines. It's NOT a Piper.

The 300/350 has to do it once past V1. And by definition you have to be past
Vmcg, which might take Edwards AFB for the required runway length. King Air
doesn't taxi well on one engine, BTDT.

I have witnessed this airplane do it in relative safety.

Somebody tried to do this once on purpose in a Lear Jet out of KPDX about 25
years ago. He didn't make it.
