Having or powered by two motors; relating to an aircraft or vehicle with two engines.
From bi- (two) + motor (from Latin motor, one who moves). Aviation terminology that emerged in the early 20th century with development of multi-engine aircraft.
Bimotor aircraft were revolutionary because two engines meant planes could keep flying even if one engine failed—making long-distance air travel actually safe!
