Conserving fuel on 4 engine planes?
Just watching a movie with a 4 engine prop plane running out of fuel over
the ocean. So what would be the best way to conserve fuel. I'm thinking throttle back all four engines and let them loaf along. Or would you cut two engines and let two carry the load. Two would have to work harder, but would they use less fuel then 4? Of course, range becomes more important then speed. Any opinions?
