Engine thrust units

Recommended Posts

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.

The thrust value in SF is measured in Newtons. 1 lbs thrust = 4.448 Newtons

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.
