Les deux moteurs, protégés par des carénages (nacelles), sont en général placés symétriquement par rapport au fuselage et sont montés soit sous la voilure, soit contre la partie arrière du fuselage; ils sont aussi placés parfois à l'avant et à l'arrière du fuselage, solution qui réduit le déséquilibre en cas d'arrêt de l'un des moteurs. Sur un bimoteur moderne, les moteurs sont assez puissants pour qu'un seul d'entre eux puisse assurer le vol. 2, record 1, French, - bimoteur
