fear of flying?

Question

Please, let me know how many engines have the modern aircrafts, I 'm thinking all the time if one or more of them caould stop working

Answer 1

Most generally have two engines. the chances of one just quitting is very remote. and they could safely land with one engine.

Answer 2

You really should not have to worry about the engines. They are meant to take it rough and still work fine.

Previously, it is a requirement that for long over waters flight, an aircraft needs to fly with 4 engines, and the aircraft will happily fly on 2. However with modern technology, now the engines are much more powerful and so aircraft only need 2 to do the job that 4 used to make. The Boeing 777 was the first to be granted license to fly long haul with its 2 engines. There were alot of stringent tests made to ensure that the engine do not fail easily, the components are more reliable, the engine is more hardy, able to withstand more rough treatment and still works etc etc. All for passenger safety.

Possibility of an engine failing will be quite rare, since many checks and tests are done on the ground even before the aircraft is started. Plus the pilots will be monitoring the working of the engines all the time to ensure that they are fine even before taking off. So you really do not have to worry about the engines. Worry more on how to spend your time in the aircraft.

Answer 3

Two engines are more attractive from a reliability angle than a single one. It is true that by doubling the number of engines, the chance of one failing is at least doubled, but the chance of both engines failing at the same time is quite small. This is why most countries require twin-engined airplanes for commercial passenger transport, with minor exceptions. Many light twin-engined aircraft are designed to be capable of at least a marginal climb on one engine, even carrying the maximum load at take-off. Loss of one engine on a twin-engine aircraft results in a loss of 50% of power available, but 80% of the performance (as measured by climb rate) due to aerodynamic factors.

Answer 4

chances are like 1 out 30000 more but hey think of this way. U might walk out and a pot hit ur head and die. so u wont walk out ur house again? IF u meant to die that day, u meant to die.
so dont worry too much on accident stuff. just dont do dangerous stuff and ur chance of living go higher :D

Answer 5

Its simple just take (if you have no parashoot) a big piece of cloth & jump it from the plane.
But some times plan can do crash landing if most of his part is save from blast.
