I believe it was Igor I. Sikorsky 'Le Grand' to be the worlds first four-engine aircraft.
She had four children in the first six years of her marriage. She had four children in the first six years of her marriage. She had four children in the first six years of her marriage.
Four, they were Harrison, McKinley, Taft and Clinton.
The first four executive departments were the Departments of State, War, Treasury and the Attorney General.
The first three articles deal with the three branches of government. The last four deal with states, powers, amendments, dederal power, and ratification.

The Lockheed C130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop aircraft that was used in the military. It was originally built by Lockheed and designed as a troop, medical evacuation, and cargo transport plane. The C130-B model was first designed and put into production in 1959.
From left to right.On a twin engined aircraft, engine one will be on the left wing, engine two on the right. On a four-engined aircraft, engines one and two will be on the left wing, with engine one being the outer engine and engine two being the inner engine. Engine three and four will be on the right wing with engine three being the inner engine and four being the outer.On aircraft which have two engines in-line like the Cessna skymaster. The forward engine is engine one and the aft engine is engine two.
The characteristics of the aircraft KFM 112M is a four cylinder with dual ignition and is meant to be designed for an ultralight aircraft and motor glides.
Historically, the four engine design was used to ensure performance and reliability. Aircraft engines back in the early years of aviation were prone to failures and mechanical trouble, and with a four engine airplane, losing 1 engine meant the aircraft retained 3/4 of its performance, versus 1/2 with a two engine design. Additionally, engine technology at the time meant that some aircraft actually required 4 engines in order to have sufficient thrust for takeoff/climb (i.e, B-747). Today, the only real advantage a four engine aircraft enjoys is performance (as mentioned above), and an increased level of redundancy. Additionally, both of the advantages are rapidly dissolving, as no current commercial transports (other than A380 and 747) employ a four engine design.
One word. MONEY.
It was designed to carry four KOR-2 flying boats.

United States industrialist (born in Russia) who designed the first four-engine aeroplane and the first mass-produced helicopter (1889-1972)
It is a four-seat, single-engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft.
The Wright brothers, of course! On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made four brief flights at Kitty Hawk with their first powered aircraft.
Your not very specific as to what kind of engine, but: The four-stroke engine was first patented by Eugenio Barsanti and Felice Matteucci in 1854, followed by a first prototype in 1860. 1872: The first true gas turbine engine was designed by Dr Franz Stolze, but the engine never ran under its own power. .
