Twin-engine aircraft

Twin-engine aircraft are planes equipped with two engines that generate the power needed for flight. Having two engines improves safety because if one engine fails, the aircraft can often continue flying safely on the remaining engine. They are commonly used for commercial passenger flights and cargo due to their efficiency and reliability. Twin engines balance performance with fuel economy and are suitable for most routes, including long-haul flights. Modern twin-engine jets are designed with advanced safety systems, allowing them to operate safely over oceans and remote areas, meeting strict safety standards required by aviation authorities.
