where does the greatest negative thrust occur when computing thrust
with the thrust distribution method - ANSWERS-turbine
what does the thrust horsepower computation convert - ANSWERS-the
power factor of a thrust producing engine to horsepower
if knowing the THP enables one to determine how much HP is required
to propel an aircraft at certain speeds, why can't Fg be used in the THP
formula - ANSWERS-because MPH is zero
propulsive efficiency is known as the ______ efficiency of a turbine
engine - ANSWERS-external
thermal efficiency is known as the ______ efficiency of a turbine engine
- ANSWERS-internal
overall efficiency is defined as propulsive efficiency ______ thermal
efficiency - ANSWERS-times
factors such as OAT, altitude, and airspeed all affect thrust because they
have the greatest effect on inlet - ANSWERS-air density
