Engine failure on Trijets
Hi there,
I just had a debate with my colleague if Trijets such as a Falcon 7X or a MD11 is subject to Single Engine climb gradients if only one engine fails during takeoff? Obviously the loss of one engine with two remaining operarational isn't 50% thrust loss. How is that calculated and how is the performance of a 3 holer jet affected when it comes to obstable clearence? Maybe a too general question because of numerous factors but I am curious to hear what you experts say...
Cheers
