Alex Hollings(@AlexHollings52):Fewer engines are always better if you can meet power demands (reduces design work, production, material costs, weight, maintenance, etc). China has struggled to match American turbofan technology for years (you could argue they only recently caught up with Pratt’s F119 from 1990 in the last few years).
