[luizpigeon]

soouy apaixonado por aviação, confesso que achei meio estranho o formado desse avião quando ele foi lançãdo, mais quando eu o vi pela primeira vez aqui em porto velho eu me apaixonei.

@YOUBETCHA21 They carry more cargo than passengers. They need 4 powerful engine to lift it off the ground.

@jodcobh they dont have reberse thrust

[Aviationnation10]

@YOUBETCHA21 in case of engine failure and for short runways

[charlieechovictor]

@jodcobh yes but the it doesn't have reverse thrusters...

[jodcobh]

4 engines to achieve short takeoff distance and also landing as 4 engines on reverse thrust can make it really good for short runways such as london city airport for example. also they reduce noise compared to 2 engines making them better for the noise environment and are useful for freight flights late at night.

@YOUBETCHA21 Looks like little plane, but can fly with 112 passengers, most of planes in his size and weight category normaly don't have seat capacity above 85-90...;)

[Dreamboxboy]

@YOUBETCHA21 It has 4 engines because that was the decision of the manufacturer, some experts say it's better to have 4 engines instead of 2, if 1 or 2 of them fail you still have 2/3 engines working and making flying possible without major hazard, with 2, if 1 of both fail you're in deep shit...;)
