            It depends. As a general rule a 2 engine plane can maintain altitude on just one engine. but a 4 engine plane would need 2 working to maintain. and forget about climbing over those mountains infront of you

              Most planes I know have 3 engines. Which engine?

                    Yeah, and they can fly and land
                    with no engines.

                    I landed without power today on approach
                    to 21R.

                    Of course power off landings are normal upon
                    glide and ground effect.

                          This is not correct. A 4 engine aircraft cannot maintain altitude on 2 engines above FL330, same goes for a 2 engine aircraft on 1 engine. When fully loaded and with full fuel tanks it can't even maintain that altitude.

                              If lift and thrust exceeds drag and the other thing anything can fly - so theoretically you could get a house brick to fly on pedal power - if you could pedal fast enough

                                As long as the engine produces enough thrust to sustain lift I can't see a problem. What's your point?

                                  Some planes only have one engine!!!!

                                  If your talking like a 747 it can't fly on one if it's fully loaded with cargo and passangers.

                                    Lift is not generated or an outcome in any way of thrust/engines. Lift is caused by the way a wing is placed on the fuselage and because one side of that wing is longer then the other side of the wing. Same goes for a F1 car, it gets sucked to the ground because the wind it is driving (cutting) thruw needs to travel a longer way on the upper side of that car than on the bottom side of the car so underneeth the car is a vacuum space wich sucks the car to the ground, same on aicraft wings but the other way around. It gets sucked into the air. The main purpose of an engine is to let the aircraft take-off and generate hydraulic power and electricity. Once on altitude an aicraft can go very far without engine power. A few years ago an aircraft sufered a fuel leak above the atlantic and lost all engine power. It flew about 200 miles without engines (gliding) and made a pefect landing at an airport, everybody got out safe and well. The reason an aircraft makes a descent when it looses engine power is because the air closed to earth is more likelly to suck you up or "carry" you because the density of the air.

                                      A 747 has 4 engines and fully loaded it won't fly at 2 engines, even struggles to fly at 3 engines, let alone on one engine.

                                        I can only think of one plane still in production with 3 engines, and it's not an airliner.

                                          Alot of airline aircrafts in service have 3 engines: MD-11, DC-10, B-727, and alot more......
                                          Some of them though let the tail engine (center engine) only run in iddle and use it in case of emergency and on take-off.

                                            re-read what I said.

                                            I said STILL IN PRODUCTION

                                            none of those you listed are being built anymore, some not in decades.
                                            The Dassault Falcon is the only 3 engine plane I can think of being made, and it's a biz jet.

                                                  technically a plane can fly with no engines...

                                                  just not very far.

                                                    depends on how long the wings are ;)

                                                      an airframe can fly with no engines, (sailplanes, etc) but for powered aircraft alot depends on existing altitude, weight, COG loading, density altitude, how it's trimmed, and pilot skill.

                                                      true safety for passengers relates mostly to an aircraft's landing or stall speed.

                                                      while large commercial jets have the highest per mile safety rating when they do crash folks usually die, same with multi-engine general aviation planes; so more engines do not necessarily connote passenger safety unless flying over hazardous terrain or open water.

                                                      if you want to walk away from a dead stick landing best to be in something with a low stall speed, i.e. cessna.
