which pretty much keeps it restricted to overland only. it took a long time for the FAA to permit twins to fly across the ocean? ETOPS (Extended-Range Twin Engine Operational Performance Standards) is just what it says, twin engine but is there any possible means a passenger carrying single engine could get certification? Now as an unmanned cargo drone it might get this permission.

You can fly a single over the ocean, you just have to carry extra equipment.
