1 pound of thrust is the force required to hold 1 pound of a material stationary in the air against the effect of gravity. This is only in ideal case(no effects of atmosphere) and excluding the weight of the engine which generates that thrust.

What is the meaning thrust used in airplane?

"Thrust" is a force, referenced to the direction in which the aircraft is pointing. Take all the forces that act on the airplane. For each one, find the magnitude of its component in the direction in which the airplane's nose points. Their sum is the "thrust" at that moment.

If each plum which will be represented by (), weighs 1/5 of a pound it would take 5 to total a pound; so, () () () () () = 1 lb.


What is the maximum thrust of an ion thruster?

First of all, the speed of light needs 10googleplexso the speed of an ion thruster might be at least 1 out of 1000000000000000000000 of that speed so if you take that into mind you get at least 400010 pounds of thrust. But can somebody add to this, i dont now if that is right or not.


How much thrust is produced by a Boeing 747?

This information should be available on the Boeing website or other avaition-related websites. For a quick answer, I will related my experiences from 1970's. Boeing certified the B747-200 to operate with General Electric CF6-50 engines. During take-off power, each GE engine could produce 56,000 lbs of thrust per enginer: or 224,000 lbs for a few minutes. Now, the larger B747-400 a/c have more powerful engines. Currently each engine on a Boeing 747-400 can generate a maximum of about 63,300 lbs of thrust. Accordingly, since this aircraft has four engines it can produce total thrust of about 253,000 lbs.
