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.




Well, IF you want to count JATO, or RATO or ATO as "jets"
then the B-47 with 6 Jet turbine engines and the
the "horse collar" 32 bottle ATO pack wins hands down..
