Default Aircraft with the most jet engines?

No, because the term JATO is a misnomer. They are not jet engines, they
are rockets.


As one definition of "jet" is "a stream of a liquid, gas, or small solid
particles forcefully shooting forth from a nozzle, orifice, etc.", it's not
a misnomer at all.
