I am presuming that you believe I’m not considering the requirement that you accelerate to V1 with all engines operating? As you can see … I do remember. However, my point is that as long as you get to V1 it makes little difference as to how you got there, how much runway you used getting there or anything else. Once you are there, you are there – and from that point forward, the only relevant aspect is that you have takeoff thrust on the remaining engines; i.e., 1 engine on a 2-engine airplane; 2 engines on a 3-engine airplane, or 3 engines on a 4-engine airplane.
