  3. 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]

    also stop thrust, stop-in-time. A counter-attack that attempts to take advantage of an uncertain attack. A properly performed stop hit allows a fencer to counter-attack into an oncoming attack, hit the opponent, and then still parry the oncoming attack (allowing a possible valid riposte as well).

    When selecting the ideal rocket engine to use as an initial stage for a launch vehicle, a useful performance metric to examine is the thrust-to-weight ratio, and is calculated by the equation: = The common thrust-to-weight ratio of a launch vehicle is within the range of 1.3 to 2.0. [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_F-84_Thunderjet

    The weight of the aircraft, a great concern given the low thrust of early turbojets, was growing so quickly that the USAAF had to set a gross weight limit of 13,400 lb (6,100 kg). [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The results of this preliminary testing were incorporated into the third prototype, designated XP-84A , which was also fitted with a more powerful J35-GE ...
