Any successful cases?
Savoia - yes you are right that is the 'rationale'
There must have been some successful outcomes of an engine failing at the higher end of the back-up phase, say 50ft of say 90ft.
Are there any examples known here by ppruners? How did they fare?
I heard of an engine failure on climb out in a single in 1974, the outcome was successful.
I love the history - you can feel the optimism!
Roof top restaurant heliport - marvelous!
Of course back then engines weren't so reliable and they were running singles almost flatout to takeoff, making it even more attractive to have 2 engines.
