Thanks.

Eh, wouldn't it be #1 or #4?

There is no critical engine the B747. Don't fly the 74 but why would there be one? The loss of one of the outboards (1 or 4) would cause the greater thrust arm over the loss of either 2 or 3 but I don't see the loss of one outboard having a greater performance detriment than the opposite outboard.

I didn't know we had critical engines that were based on thrust on jets...

Critical Engines on jets are based on what components are lost when an engine quits...

That's the way I learned it!
