All Navy carrier aircraft have two engines for that reason!


A bird can destroy a lot more than an engine. Many a time, not only did we have to replace engines because of bird-strikes, but also leading-edge slats/flaps, stabilators, and canopies. A bird-strike in the center of the windscreen can mean an immediate pilot-fatality.

Oh, by the way...the F-35 JSF...single-engine.

EDIT: Forgot to mention...AV-8B...also single-engine.
