I'm glad atleast one person appreciates the question.

Part of the reason I proposed the question the way I did was,

When I think of the complexity of 2 pilots trying to handle a V1 cut in the simulator, how there can be several iterations of the outcome. I know of an MD11 engine that came apart, but only partially. This partial engine that departed the pylon around FL180 created a ginormous asymmetrical rotation that the crew reported that they believed the airplane would break apart in flight.

The more difficult part of this engine failure was that the part of the engine that departed the aircraft also took with it part of the leading edge slats, with the associated hydro leak. Point being, the aircrafts' computer (EICAS on 75/76) that assists pilots managing the emergency did not know which emergency to handle first (engine failure, hydro leak, or broken wing). The pilots that were not getting much guidance from the computer engineer and hadn't seen this emergency in the sim (the engineers hadn't anticipated this emergency) had to clean their shorts and then insert themselves into the checklist they felt was the most appropriate at the time and methodically work the checklists they could, all the while returning to departure airport. (There was a jumpseater that was rated on the a/c and assisted with checklist execution).

Point being, it's an enormous ask of engineers to design complex multi-engine aircraft to safely handle engine failures, multi emergency situations like this, or the miracle on the Hudson.

Also, how would ATC handle the return to departure airport and comm/control, and integrate the emergency aircraft back to the departure airfield or new landing airport. How would the integration (speed, altitude, vectoring) be accomplished? My brother is an ATC controller and our current system is woefully underfunded by the Fed govt. With the USA's lack of govt funds, to upgrade the ATC system to comm/control drones (crippled or not) from piloted aircraft or a system made up entirely of drones, seems impossible with our Congress and budgetary woes.
