My goodness - it is weird.
I do not understand how was it possible to fix the heavy engine making huge drag onto the wing, and the VH-OJN just could continue normal service !

Wow, that is a strange looking configuration. I'm guessing that the extra engine is non-functional. But what about the stress on the wing?  Why couldn't they just use some other transport plane instead of the extra engineering effort to mount it safely onto the wing? |

It does, and this is why the range in decreased as fuel burn ingreases Wow, that is a strange looking configuration. I'm guessing that the extra engine is non-functional.

There is a built in attachement point in the 747 wing, so the operation is quite straight forward |

There are some more plane types with more than 4 engines.
6 engines e.g. B-47 Stratocruiser, Me 323 Gigant, BV 222, BV238
8 engines Spruce Goose,
12 engines Do X
