Now, they didn't lose the engine(s) on take off, but you can google the crash and read all about it. It is still considered "privileged" information so although the information is readily available, I *personally* can't discuss the mishap. |
I seriously doubt it, GalaxyIFE, unless maybe you're talking about symmetrical engines and a 400K jet in cold weather at sea level. But even then nothing is guaranteed by your data and you're just a test pilot at that point. Besides, the C-5 is an underpowered airplane as it is. If you're talking about two engines on the same side of the airplane failing after V1, you may as well kiss your a$$ goodbye. Why do I say that? What is "go" speed in the example I gave--maybe 104 KCAS? What's two engine Vmca? There you go
