  2. Gas turbine engine thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_turbine_engine_thrust

    As an example, an early turbojet, the Bristol Olympus Mk. 101, had a momentum thrust of 9300 lb. and a pressure thrust of 1800 lb. giving a total of 11,100 lb. [1] Looking inside the "black box" shows that the thrust results from all the unbalanced momentum and pressure forces created within the engine itself. [2]

  3. Jet engine performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine_performance

    The type of jet engine used to explain the conversion of fuel into thrust is the ramjet.It is simpler than the turbojet which is, in turn, simpler than the turbofan.It is valid to use the ramjet example because the ramjet, turbojet and turbofan core all use the same principle to produce thrust which is to accelerate the air passing through them.

  4. Engine pressure ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_pressure_ratio

    Jet engines use either EPR or compressor/fan RPM as an indicator of thrust. [2] When EPR is used, the pressures are measured in front of the compressor and behind the turbine. Integrated engine pressure ratio

  5. Advance ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_ratio

    The advance ratio is critical for determining the efficiency of a propeller. At different advance ratios, the propeller may produce more or less thrust. Engineers use this ratio to optimize the design of the propeller and the engine, ensuring that the vehicle operates efficiently at its intended cruising speed, see propeller theory.

  6. Specific thrust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_thrust

    Specific thrust is the thrust per unit air mass flowrate of a jet engine (e.g. turbojet, turbofan, etc.) and can be calculated by the ratio of net thrust/total intake airflow. [ 1 ] Low specific thrust engines tend to be more efficient of propellant (at subsonic speeds), but also have a lower effective exhaust velocity and lower maximum airspeed.

  7. Aircraft engine performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_engine_performance

    Aircraft engine performance refers to factors including thrust or shaft power for fuel consumed, weight, cost, outside dimensions and life. It includes meeting regulated environmental limits which apply to emissions of noise and chemical pollutants, and regulated safety aspects which require a design that can safely tolerate environmental hazards such as birds, rain, hail and icing conditions.

  8. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    This cooling contributed indirectly to thrust in allowing more fuel to be burned in the afterburner. A similar arrangement, but using a split compressor with intercompressor bleed to the jetpipe, was later known as a 'leaky' turbojet, a bypass engine with only enough bypass for cooling the afterburner and nozzle. [citation needed]

  9. Thrust-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust-to-weight_ratio

    The thrust-to-weight ratio is usually calculated from initial gross weight at sea level on earth [6] and is sometimes called thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio. [7] The thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio of a rocket or rocket-propelled vehicle is an indicator of its acceleration expressed in multiples of earth's gravitational acceleration, g 0. [5]
