The aircraft I flew on, repaired and generally got to know better than i do most people in the marine corps has an interconnecting driveshaft. So if one engine dies, the other engine keeps the prop spinning.

That’s a turboshaft engine with a prop rotor though so I don’t think that would work for non prop driven systems.
