Best Answer

Flying with one engine is difficult. An experienced pilot can only do it. The plane rolls to the direction in which the good engine is running. So the pilot has to give a constant opposite direction force to keep the plane steady.
Depends. Some only have one and fly well with that. Some will be able to remain airborne on one engine, but will need more to take off.

What is the name of an aircraft with floats or skis for landing?

A plane with floats is a "floatplane" or a "seaplane." A plane with skis is a "skiplane." Check it out: you need a special license to fly a seaplane! If you have a single-engine Piper and land it at airports, the minimum license is ASEL--airplane, single engine, land. You could also fly it with an AMEL--airplane, multiengine, land. But to fly a seaplane you need an ASES or AMES--airplane, single engine, sea or airplane, multiengine, sea.
