LOL @ DAn.
Awesome! Goes to show without all the ballast (human bodies) these planes have plenty of extra power.
There's also the regulation that large twins have to be able to continue a takeoff from V1 [1] on a single engine at max all-up weight and the given runway length, wind, temp etc.
If you actually have twice that trust, as you usually do, it's jam.
I note that the A380 has an *extremely* leisurely climb out compared to the modern twins. It only has to have 33% more than the bare minimum power, compared to 100% more for twins.
[1] if an engine fails below V1 then you stop. If above V1 then you continue, but you must accelerate to at least V2 before actually lifting off.
