where as the B-52 has eight engines. and if it is minus 1 it can still fly as long as it has fuel..

I was once told by a former B52 pilot that they can actually maintain flight with as few as four engines...as long as they aren't all on the same wing!

Yeah, most multi engine aircraft like that are designed to be able to remain airborne at 50% of availble engines... once again as long as they are not on the same side of the aircraft.... (if the were all on the same side it was cause incredible torque that would try to rip the plane apart.
