A right engine failure in the F/A-18 results in a loss of several systems (nosewheel steering, brakes) requiring an arrested landing. Unfortunately Manamma (Bahrain airport) does not have arresting gear. I think there’s more to this than just a single engine failure though.
Thanks for the info, interesting. The engineer in me wants to see redundant systems - powered by either engine... But I’m sure being a fighter there are weight, space, and complexity/maintenance priorities too. So I guess there are some single points of failure that can get serious.
Yeah, maybe the engine had blades flying off that damaged other systems or something like that.
