Most of the twins I know of will maintain...Even the Apache was
supposed to maintain 4400ft. on a single engine. Only one I am aware
of, (mark that statement) that wouldn't maintain some altitude on one
engine, was the Citabria twin. Double your pleasure, Double your
fun...........as I remember the Advertisement.........or was that for
chewing gun? Oh, Well.......another RvP Senior Moment.........<br>

Never heard that story. thanks. Also, nowadays twin engine
airplanes can maintain a safe altitude on a single engine. Or so they
told me when I got my type rating on the 757/767.<span

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">OTOH, remember the Rutan
Voyager? Two centerline
engines, the front engine was to be shut off and feathered after it was
no
longer needed. Rutan wanted to leave the electric starter off, since it
would
not be needed once it left the ground. The engine maker (Teledyne?)
convinced
him to keep the starter on, "just in case".<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Halfway around the world,
a fuel managment problem
caused the rear engine to momentarily quit, and the nose-down glide
prevented the
fuel pickup to draw fuel again to the rear engine. The front engine was
started
again, and once level flight was established the fuel began flowing
again to
the rear engine. (Best recollection of the story that I can remember
from
reading Dick Rutan's book).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

engine airplane couldn't
maintain flight on just one engine, in most cases. So, in his book,
(We)
Lindbergh stated that twin engines "gave twice as much chance of an
engine
failure." The only thing two engines did, was to insure that you had
enough power to make it to the crash scene.<br>
