Find probability of all four engines failing during flight


You are flying a four-engine aircraft on a 10-hour flight. Assume that it has been established that the probability of an engine of the type you have on your aircraft failing during a 10-hour flight is 0.008. Determine the probability of all four engines failing during the flight.

A student decided that this is a binomial distribution problem. The student found that the probability of all four engines failing is 4.1E-09. Is that answer correct?
