From: Boldly going where no split infinitive has gone before..
It should also be noted that the ONLY reason any four engined aircraft is currently in production is that, at the time it was designed, there weren't engines with sufficient thrust to make it a twin. Before anyone jumps up and down, name one quad which COULD have been a twin?

Nobody uses a four engined aircraft where a twin will do the job.
