Critical engine - B747
Hi there to all the tech gurus!
I have an interview coming up, and I believe one of the questions in the past has been the critical engine on a 747.
I can tell that it is the up wind engine, but why? I assume it has to to with the remaining thrust on the opposite side providing a yawing tendecy; But primarily because the weathercocking effect. Anyway, I am just speculating and would appreciate an educated input.
Thanks guys
