Aircraft engines are paramount for standard flight operations, burning fuel and air mixtures for the means of generating propulsion and thrust. The number of engines on a particular aircraft may vary based on its type, role, and other factors. While small, piston-powered aircraft may feature a single reciprocating engine for flight, a commercial airliner may feature upwards of four aircraft jet engines. While four engines may seem like a lot, there are very good reasons for this configuration. In this blog, we will discuss the four engine design that is often found on commercial aircraft, allowing you to better understand why such configurations are found on various models.
