When people think about serious engine power, the V8 is usually the first thing that comes to mind. Eight cylinders, large displacement, and a firing order that keeps the combustion events coming in ...

Engine failures on takeoff are exceptionally dangerous compared to simulated failures, characterized by rapid airspeed decay due to low altitude, initial nose-high attitude, and the significant drag ...

As engines get more complex to provide better performance and efficiency, dependability can sometimes take a backseat. Not so ...

Pilots hold differing views on the safest way to practice engine failures on takeoff; while some advocate for routine high-altitude practice, others strongly caution against actual low-altitude ...
