From the tiniest model, to a 747-400, engine out controllability is a function of excess asymmetrical thrust, versus airspeed, and rudder authority, period. Everything you just said is a categorically untrue generalization. Please don't pontificate with minimal beginners knowledge on the subject.
exactly what i was thinking, even the poor old 1960's vintage A90 kingairs im flying around do very well single engine.. Even at max gross and 5-6,000 density. Now at 10,000+ density, the climb isnt so good..
