Jump to postA 777 or any other twin can fly with just one engine. It certainly cannot operate efficiently. Example: A 330 which loses one engine has a max level of approximate 43 minus the gross weight in thousands. In other words, if you're at 200 tons your max sustainable altitude is approximately 23000 feet...

Jump to postThe fact that the stage even got to the barge is pretty promising. It survived an extremely energetic re-entry and managed to fly back and hit the spot. Hopefully, they got enough pieces to figure out if it took too much damage or just couldn't complete a good landing as low as it was on fuel.
