747 can fly with one engine or needs 2 fully loaded?

Question

if 3 engines fail can it land safelly with one?

Answer 1

Yes, but it depends on so many factors, like weather, winds, damage, what airport, runway longitude, etc.

On 24 June 1982, Flight 9, a Boeing 747-200, G-BDXH, City of Edinburgh flew through a cloud of volcanic ash and dust from the eruption of Mount Galunggung, causing extensive damage to the aircraft, including the failure of all four engines. The aircraft managed to glide out of the dust cloud and restart all of its engines (only to have one fail again as it climbed over the mountain), allowing it to make an emergency landing at Jakarta. No-one was injured.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Flight 867 from Amsterdam to Anchorage, Alaska, flew into the plume of the erupting Mount Redoubt, causing all four engines to fail due to compressor stall. Once the flight cleared the ash cloud, it was able to restart each engine and then made a safe landing at Anchorage, though, like City of Edinburgh, it was substantially damaged.

Answer 2

All airliners, in case of engine malfunction, become heavy gliders. If there are no engines running, the pilot's will be able to make a glide and controled landing withing a sertaain distance. With one engine, this distance will increase a little, and the landing might be a bit easier to accomplish.

Answer 3

Technically, yes, but I think landing could be a little rough.

Answer 4

probably not because it would lose so much power that it would begen to stall and it more crash than land you would most likly die also. so it would be failed attempt
