A B-52 can fly sluggishly with 4 engines out. It has 8

Remember the B-36, which actually had 10 engines- - 6 pusher recips and 4 jets ("6 turning and 4 burning")?

When I was a baby, I was awakened at 4:30 every morning to the B-36s warming up at Ellsworth AFB, SD. My father swears that’s why I’m an early riser.
