I've Googled for everything I can find on 2 engines driving 1 prop.
There are several military and civilian examples. Nowhere did I see
that a ME rating was required of the pilot. I'm familiar with ME
Centerline thrust.

Cites, observations and comments please.


It is very simple. Airplanes are classified as single-engine or
multi-engine. The classification says nothing about number of props.

You may make the argument that a redundant "engine package"

containing two
engine blocks but only one set of engine controls for the pilot to manage
actually constitutes a single engine, but I would want to have that ruling

from
the FAA in advance.

Well and succinctly stated!
