engine separation

A Piedmont 73 lost one at ORD in the 80's. An AA Dc-10 lost one as well (that did not work out so well). There were several cases of 707's shuking up to two at at a time...

Will a 707 or 747 or any of the 4 engine or three engine jets fly and climb (or have to be FARs) if they lose two engines?

Sure. The 727 will fly on one engine. It won't do more than about 210, and you better be clean when it happens.

Just look up the thread about the British Airways 747 that decided to fly LA to London on 3 engines.

Supposedly the Avro will maintain upper 20s on 3 engines, and 12-15k' on 2. 1 engine is a controlled descent. Theres even provisions to do a 2 engine go around.
