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.

Not necessarily true. I flew on P-3s (the old Lockheed Electra) with four turbo-props and the plane was designed to be able to fly on one engine.

Of course, the P-3 has the glide capabilities of a brick, so it doesn't fly well on one engine, but it can maintain sufficient airspeed and altitude to avoid flying into a hot dog stand. Many other aircraft have the same capability.

I stand corrected, but I also thought with the p-3's it flew under the same theroy as the A-6 and F-14.. the plane is so damn ugly the earth rejects it. :)
