Smallest multi-engine aircraft in the world

wow that is small, I dont think I will be flying that one. Not my type of aircraft. Good find.

Wow, it's an ugly looking aircraft but it has a very good range of up to 750km.

Someone even put tiny jet engines on one! Top speed of this flight was 240 km/hour (150 mph).

Someone posted a video a while back...

all of you are wrong. the smallest aircraft, was also flown by the youngest pilot. it was a homebuilt, see below:

I don't think you read it properly...

the Cri-cri aircraft is the world's smallest twin-engine aircraft

if you look at the photo, there us a lawn mower engine on the back with a fan blade propeller for forward propulsion, and 2 cox model airplaine engines on the wingtips to help with lift. this indeed makes it multi-engined.

That's from a movie... it doesn't really fly. I get the joke. 😂

just the fact that you posted the link to wikipedia made my day.
thank you for the awesome laugh 😂

Thanks for the link. I really enjoy flying the Cri-Cri - it's very reponsive to the controls - but it's a bit of a sod to land. Maybe I'm used to vintage taildraggers, but I've just crashed it seven times in a row.

man there going to be some huge wind storm and just blow that plane over. Its just waiting to happen.

huge wind? how about slight breeze.... that thing doesn't look very stable to me. I'd take my chances with the radio flyer first. Those things are indestructible.

60 KIAS works well for landing. I use the VC view, set to 87%. This allows a good view of the runway and the airspeed indicator. You can use Shift+(-/+) to change the VC view by small increments.

What an excellent simulation it is and such fun to fly. The detail is excellent and a pleasure to be with.. Not sure what EGLL would have thought had my sim landing been done by the real thing - 3 widebodies were held for my approach to 9L!
