How long to fly 500 land miles in a twin engine plane?
Which twin-engine plane are you referring to? If you get a Beechcraft King Air, which will fly 300 knots easy, 500 land miles will go by in a little under two hours. A Boeing 767, another twin-engine airplane, will fly that far in about an hour. And an F-15 fighter will do it in about 20 minutes if you fly at wide-open throttle.
What type of plane is a p-38 Lighting?
It was an American twin-boom, piston-engine heavy fighter of WWII.
How do contra rotating propellers affect the performance of an aircraft?
They eliminate propeller torque as a reason for the aircraft to have a critical engine. When a plane has two engines, the one that will most affect the plane's handling if it quits is called the critical engine. If a twin loses one engine in flight, the plane will turn toward that engine. But in a critical-engine situation, the plane will turn more sharply toward one side. On a clockwise-prop plane the port engine is critical; the starboard engine is critical on a counterclockwise-prop plane. This doesn't necessarily mean the plane doesn't have a critical engine. A plane might have one hydraulic pump. If the engine running it dies, you're going to have to strong-arm the plane back to the ground.
Are there different types of pilot licenses?
Yes there is the one you start out with then the twin engine and the sea plane and the jet license and/or a heli license

What happens if one of the engines of a twin engine jet fails?
The plane will 'hang' to oneedge and in about 1 minute will hit the ground. Not right at all. Every commercial twin-jet aircraft is able to fly safely on one engine, and pilots are trained on how to land safely on a single engine. It very rarely happens but when it does it's not a big deal.
