Saunders Roe Princess, but only 3 were built

Correction: Those six prop engines were radials.

Hello,
Then I guess it's a tie between the Saunders-Roe Princess and the
Soviet "korabl-maket", each of which used 10 jet engines. Although the
KM was a ground-effects aircraft, so it didn't fly more than a few
metres above the ground, it did fly. Here's the URL for theWikipedia
entry, and a picture of each.

Sorry, forgot the URL.

The B-36 had six piston pushers.

The B52H bomber had eight TF-33 turbofan engines.

It was developed by Convair's Photoshop Works to test the feasibility
of creating a bomber with a range so short as to be unable to achieve
a tanker evolution, thereby saving the costs and dangers associated
with in-flight refueling. In eleven consecutive tests it failed to
complete even a takeoff roll. The program was eventually cancelled due
to budget surpluses. At least that's what my uncle told me, and he
should know because he worked in Section 8.

Does the Blue Angels C-130T count? 4 Allison turboprops plus 8 JATO (Jet
Assisted Take Off) packs.

Or even the YMC-130H?

Saw it, soon after I posted my correction to your original post.

No, because the term JATO is a misnomer. They are not jet engines, they are
rockets.
