And I am just talking "big" aircraft here, if you look from the B707&DC8 era all the way to A330, A321LR, B737max, B777 aso, how many hull losses would have been prevented, if only they had a few more engines?
For solely mechanical issues and excluding events like US1549 I think none... yet. With the issues RR has had with their Trent 1000 on the 787 and PW issues with their GTF on the 320neo the theoretically "statistically insignificant" odds must have increased a bit?
