FACT: Most multi engine airplanes lose 70% performance when they lose an engine. FACT: All single-engine airplanes lose 100% performance when they lose an engine. Here are some more facts for any poor sod who wanders in to r.a.h expecting to see useful information... A typical light twin typically holds altitude quite sufficiently on a single engine. http://www.aopa.org/members/files/pi.../prof0305.html (AOPA members only) A feathering prop is not required for adequate single engine performance in a very light plane. The Leza AirCam is said to be able to take off on one engine. (I'd provide a reference but their Web site is useless.) A typically-loaded (for me) light twin can take off, circle the pattern and land with one engine at idle (similar to windmilling) and the gear hanging out. There's a sweet-looking very light multi-engine plane for sale right now. http://www.aircam3.com/ I want one. --kyler |
