So how does a 747 fly on two ? How does it fly with 2 out on the same side.
It flies just fine. Some procedural differences on approach for us relating to sterile runways, commital points etc, but it flies nicely. Obviously it is not designed to take off with 2 failed or failing, but even at high weights, once you get to a couple of thousand feet and flaps to 5 or 1 cleaning up you will generally be ok.
I doubt you would be able to say the above with 2 failed on a Tristar on A340-300
