A feasibility study was made of cross-shafting systems which would interconnect propellers of light, twin-engine airplanes, eliminating asymmetric thrust caused by single-engine failures. The study found conventional engine-propeller arrangement, with interconnection added, superior to fuselage-mounted multiengine drive of interconnected wing-mounted propellers. Reliability analysis shows that interconnection, on the average, will eliminate approximately six accidents while adding one, a reduction of 84 percent of those accidents associated with engine failure. It is concluded that this concept is feasible and makes a significant contribution to flight safety. (Author)
