I have heard (unsubstantiated by me) that had the Hudson glider not been an Airbus, sufficient power would have been available on one of the engines to continue flight for a powered landing on concrete.
I've not seen this discussed before. Any idea why this might be so?
The only thing that springs to mind for me is FADEC preventing overtemp by limiting f/f. If that's the reason then since Airbus isn't the only builder installing FADEC controlled engines on it's airframes other types may face similar issues. Is that it?
