Why are multiple engines different?

Name one light twin that can take off on one engine.

Note: a 737 is not considered a light twin.

All I can say is ...........I've seen it. Name some light twins. If you can
come up with the right one, you win the big prize.

I'm not into guessing games. FWIW, I don't consider anything powered by
a jet engine as "light".

ok, I'll take a guess, but it is cheating: Cessna 337 skymaster,
it's a light twin but inline thrust. I remember a NTSB report where
a guy managed to get airborne on one engine (not long, hence the
NTSB report, but airborne nonetheless -- alcohol was involved
if I recall correctly)

but I was thinking in terms of conventional -- i.e., one engine
on each side -- light twin. I don't think you can eeven taxi these
things on one engine...

Slyvain,

No, not the skymaster.................although it probably could under the
right conditions.

And Emily...........no..........it is not a jet or even a turbo-prop. It is
a light twin with piston engines. There IS kind of a catch, but it does have
a conventional layout with an engine on each wing.

At what point can this plane continue the takeoff on one engine?

I was going to say the cri-cri http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/cricri/ but
then the engines are no mounted on the wings...

King Air's are not light twins.
