I read about a procedure for taking off with 3 engines on a 4 engine aircraft : full power on the two symmetrical engine, power up of the third engine when speed is enough.
Could it be possible to takeoff from the start with only one engine ? One would need a very long runway, use little power at the beginning (counteract the yawing moment with the nose wheel at first), then increase power gradually while the rudder gains efficiency, and if this allows to reach VMCG then full power can be applied and the a/c should be able to takeoff on only one engine.
Did anyone ever hear about something similar ?
