The reason is that single engine aircraft, of course, have only one engine. A multiengine aircraft has 2 or more engines. You would either have to guess which engine to attach the monitor to, or install a bank of switches to jump back and forth between monitoring the various engines. I read somewhere that both configurations were tried. Planes crashed because, inevitably, the monitor was always attached to the engine that always worked fine (ha ha Murphy's Law) or in the case of multiple switches, planes crashed because pilots became disoriented flipping the switches or because they didn't keep both hands on the wheel. Engineers gave up so an engine monitor is no longer found on multiengine aircraft. What about multiple monitors? |
