Answer 5

The Convair B-36 bomber in service with the Strategic Air Command in the 1950s had TEN engines.  Six radial piston engines and four turbojets.

So that's the top end of the scale.  It ranges from there down to one (1) engine.

Answer 6

I havn't seen one with more than eight

Answer 7

At least one.

Otherwise, it's a glider - or a bicycle.
