Point of order, Mr Chairman! In the mighty Vickers VC10 Funbus, we regularly lose one at V1 and another stops producing thrust at V2...at MTOW!! In the simulator, fairly obviously!! It flies perfectly well so long as sound flying skills, well practised drills and good CRM are applied. But try it above RTOW, without having recomputed the speeds, with a FE shutting down an engine still producing thrust before V2 is achieved..........
