Caesar Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 Hello, all. I was wondering if anyone could field this question for me: what are the engine thrust units in the aircraft data files? To clarify, I'm trying to set up a "what if" situation with the F-14, that being, what if the advanced experimental F401-P400 engines for the original F-14B in 1973 had been employed. When looking at the engine's thrust, however, I found the units not to be in pounds or kilograms or newtons. Can anyone tell me what the thrust is rated in in WoV/SF? Thanks in advance.
+Fubar512 Posted December 7, 2005 Posted December 7, 2005 The thrust value in SF is measured in Newtons. 1 lbs thrust = 4.448 Newtons
Caesar Posted December 7, 2005 Author Posted December 7, 2005 Oh, thank you very much. I must have miscalculated a ratio. When I tried to figure the units I compared to pounds and got 5.444, which is why I had assumed they weren't Newtons. Thanks again.
