So claiming a 4-engined plane are more likely to suffer from FOD by 100% more than a 2-engined is a gross simplification, itīs all about engine location over the ground and on the airplane, the strength
of the vortex from the engine and the size of the nacelles. Neither A340 nor any other plane in similar size got any gravekit as far as Iīm aware of.
I think thatīs one of the main advantages with a 3-holer, the center engine can operate on taxi far from the ground and is likely to suffer from FOD.
