3 Engine Operation
I'm delighted that everyone was safe.
That said, I've been flying round for years on 3 engines, DC10, L1011 - no sweat!
Every landing is asymmetric!!
I'm not sure I like the idea of a design that's predicated on dumping a bit of the aircraft that's failed. Yes the engine IS dead weight but there's less collateral damage leaving it where the designers wanted it.
Shame they don't have that system for difficult pax!
As for the CF6 - what an engine, superb and virtually unburstable.
Prior to that I was confirmed RR but must admit the CF6 is much less temperamental in operation.
