Default Why are multiple engines different?

Back in the early 1950s, AeroCommander flew a 500, piston
powered light twin from OKC to Washington, DC with the right
prop in the baggage area. Ike had one on the list of
approved executive travel planes. Ike was a pilot.



Good............I remember that now.It was a publicity
stunt.................... But it's not the light twin that I saw. And it's
prop was still on and could have been running if needed.
