Can A Plane Fly With One Engine
Camila Farah
A twin engine aircraft can fly perfectly well on one engine.
As a requirement for certification an aircraft must be able to take off and climb out of a missed approach with flaps fully extended on the power of a single engine alone. It must also be able to cruise for an extended period. This means that the plane can fly on routes that take it 330 minutes from the nearest suitable airport for landing. Flying with one engine is difficult.
To put it into actual time a boeing 787 dreamliner is certified for etops 330. An experienced pilot can only do it. The airbus a350 can fly for up to 370 minutes on a single engine. Losing an engine in flight is not usually a particularly serious problem and the pilots are given extensive training to deal with such a situation.
In every flying example i m aware of it was solved one of two ways. In fact it can even continue the take off and then safely land with just one engine. When the twin engine aircraft is certified part of its assessment is based on how long it can fly on a single engine. So the pilot has to give a constant opposite.

The fortunes of flight 1549 was turned into the film sully credit. No pilot would do so however unless the origin weather was so bad that landing there poses a greater risk than driving a few hundred miles on one engine and the destination is also the take off. This speed is impossible for a single engine to provide.
