multimotored
Multimotored refers to an aircraft or vehicle that is powered by more than one engine. This configuration is commonly used in aviation to enhance safety, reliability, and performance. Multimotored aircraft can be categorized based on the number of engines they possess, such as twin-engine, three-engine, or four-engine aircraft. The engines in a multimotored aircraft are typically mounted in various configurations, including side-by-side, tandem, or in a combination of these arrangements. The primary advantages of a multimotored design include increased redundancy, which means that the aircraft can continue to fly even if one engine fails, and improved maneuverability and control. Additionally, multimotored aircraft often have better fuel efficiency and can operate in a wider range of environmental conditions. However, they are generally more complex and heavier than single-engine aircraft, which can result in higher maintenance costs and longer takeoff and landing distances.
