An Ordered List, By the Numbers

    Some Aircraft Ordered by Number of Engines, Ascending
  1. F4F Wildcat
  2. B-25 Mitchell
  3. Ford Trimotor
  4. He-177, which had only two propellors each of four blades and two engine nacelles, but inside each engine nacelle, which were, incidentally, mounted one one each wing, where two engines mounted end-to-end such that the drive shafts were linked. This was not a satisfactory arrangement; if memory serves, it was prone to fire do to inadequate cooling.
  5. I know of no five-engined airplane.
  6. B-47
  7. Alas, I am ignorant of any seven-engine aeroplane.
  8. B-52 Stratofortress
