The secret of the Harries's success is its \"vectored thrust\" . This is the ability to control and direct gases leaving the engine . The single jet engine has four rotating (vectoring) exhaust nozzles , just under where the wings meet the fuselage . For a vertical takeoff , the nozzles point toward the ground , dirrecting the gases downward so that the plane is pushed up into the air . As the Harrier gains height , the nozzles swivel to point diagonally downward , so that the gases push the plane both up and forward . for normal flight , the nozzles are directed backward , and as the Harrier is propeled forward , the flow of air over the wings provides lift to keep the plane airborne . To fly backward , the nozzles point down and slightly forward . STAVAN . AMOS . SHEJAO stavanshejao@ymail.com

No. It cannot fly with one engine, because it is very heavy.It must have at least two engines to stay in air.
you don't fly, you glide and hope you get lucky to land at the nearest airport or land in a nearby, wide river because the 747-8 has a wingspan of 68.5 meters in length. If you are talking about...
no
A 787 can fly up to Mach 0.89
no it doesnt because it had many technical problems
