Did you know a 747 can carry five engines. There's an extra inner
pylon mount on the port wing for ferrying engines.


I did, as a matter of fact!

Prove it.


I just did.

So, I now I wonder why just the port wing? If you are going to have
an extra pylon on one wing, why not both?


not a lot of call for transporting two engines to a stricken machine. And
if you did need even a whole set, all you'd have to do is cycle them out
there one at a time on your scheduled service.
