reducing 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

The best engine is no engine
Bring on the commercial gliders

>>2055221
1 engine = 1 fast
2 engine = 2 fast

>>2055222
commercial 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 hull

Slow = less fuel consumption and cheaper materials. A single engine can easily get you to 500mph whilst sipping fuel.

Irrelevant. The use case for having more engines on an an aircraft is having more speed. Fly away, troll.
