>>2055177reducing insurance premiums
More than 1 engine = go faster than with just 1 engine. It's quite simple, really. Not sure how you don't understand this
>>2055177The best engine is no engineBring on the commercial gliders
>>2055219>faster>commercial flight anon are you retarded?
>>20552211 engine = 1 fast2 engine = 2 fastIt's perfectly rational.
>>2055222commercial airlines don't care about speed. There is also a legal cap on air speed. Faster doesn't just mean two engines. You have to also reinforce it's hullSlow = less fuel consumption and cheaper materials. A single engine can easily get you to 500mph whilst sipping fuel.
>>2055224Irrelevant. The use case for having more engines on an an aircraft is having more speed. Fly away, troll.
