← Back to context Comment by m4rtink 10 months ago A380 has 4 engines, so maybe it doees this with more than one ? 3 comments m4rtink Reply jimnotgym 10 months ago I think it means it can do it with 1, but the fact it has 4 gives it great redundancy. bangaladore 10 months ago I'm not sure. In the case of 4 engines, it may be 2 is how they certify it. Specifically I think the case where both engines on the same wing fail (as the worst case other that losing 3) asdfaoeu 10 months ago The rating is taking into consideration that it has 4 engines. The term is just confusing because it used to only apply to twin engine aircraft.
