What Is better? Single Engine Plane or Twin Engine Plane?

Question

These are Propeller Planes

Please Give the distince it can go on a full tank

Please Give The Top Speed

Please Give how high it can go

Answer 1

It really depends on what you want to do with the palne, though the basic rundown of the pros and cons work like this:

Single engine:  Con: Lower cruse speeds when compared to multis using the same engines. Pro:  Cheaper to opeate by far in terms of buying fuel and engine maintenance.  Multi-engine:  Pro: Tend to cruse faster than a single engine with the same kind of engine.  Con:  They require somewhat more training to be flown safley.

For normally-aspirated (not turbocharged) airplanes, the multi will not reach significantly higher altitudes than a comprable single.

Answer 2

This question is not answerable without knowing your mission.

Answer 3

There are lots of planes of both types.

In general:

Twins have better range, fly faster, go higher.

Singles are more economical and easier to fly.

If you're paying for it, ...... the single wins!

Answer 4

The performance figures you're asking about are unique to each make/model, not just single or twin in general, just as range and top speed for two cars can't be determined based just on both having a V-6 engine. However, twins can do more of just about everything than singles can, just as V-12 engines for the most part can do more than V-6's

Range on full tanks: Far enough to make your bank account wish you wouldn't find your way home.

Top speed: Faster than you can swipe your credit card and start punching zeros.

Max Altitude: [credit limit] x 1.3
