Multi-engine airplanes divided into those which can and those which cannot fly with full normal load after one or more engines have stopped; ability to fly with one engine necessitates sacrifice in pay-load; insurance against forced landings gained only at cost of increased fuel consumption and greater head resistance; propeller speed less with dead engine; turning forces on plane present problem; single-engine plane has longer range.
