Explore: Static Thrust

parallel helical gears) is referred to as static thrust. A fixed-wing aircraft propulsion system generates forward thrust when air is pushed in the direction

the Bell X-1), was fitted. This engine was rated at 6,000 lbf (27 kN) static thrust at sea level. A total of 250 US gallons (950 L) of aviation fuel, 195

air-breathing static thrust capability, relying on RATO engines. Designed for use with Skylon C1. The engine had no static thrust capability, using LOX

afterburning turbofan engines in the 10,500–19,000 lbf (47–85 kN) class (static thrust). The series is produced by GE Aerospace. Partners include Volvo Aero

the quoted thrust-to-weight ratio is often the maximum static thrust at sea level divided by the maximum takeoff weight. Aircraft with thrust-to-weight

3. The engine develops a maximum static take-off thrust of 41,500 lb (185.05 kN). The CF6-32 was to be a lower-thrust derivative of the CF6-6 for the Boeing

J35-C3 axial-flow eleven stage turbojets of 3,820 pounds-force (17.0 kN) static thrust paired in an integral nacelle under each wing. The fuselage turned out

1 One built, prototype based on F-86A-5 with 5,200 lbf (23,000 N) (static thrust) GE J47-GE-13 engine. Sabre Mk.2 350 built, based on F-86E with all

with a two-stage Orenda engine developing 7,275 pounds (3,300 kg)) of static thrust. Its altitude performance and climb rate was enhanced over the Mk 5

authority. Two variants of this engine were developed: the first provided a static thrust of 137,000 lbf (610 kN) and the second (intended for the three stage
