Why thrust reversers instead of aircraft braking system?

Thrust reverser systems are featured on many jet aircraft to help it slow down just after touch-down. This reduces wear on the brakes and enables shorter landing distances.


What is gross thrust in a turbine engine verses net thrust?

Hi there, Gross thrust is the reaction of the momentum of the jet stream produced in a gas turbine engine.If you don't know net thrust,let me tell you.Net thrust is the resultant force acting on the aircraft.Net thrust=Gross thrust-Momentum(Intake)Drag.Don't go deep in momentum drag.When the aircraft with turbine engine,is moving...Gross Thrust is more than net thrust.and when the engine is at the rest,gross thrust=net thrust.Hope you got the answer.....Good luck in your future.

Gross thrust, means the thrust when there is not forward momentum of the jet. However, the jet has always the forward speed. When we consider this, we can calculate the net thrust as the gross thrust minus the forward momentum.


What is the force that moves a plane forward?

Thrust. The pull of the propellers, the push of the jet engine, the pull of gravity.


What is a jet engine afterburner?

a jet engine afterburner is when you put a lot of gas to the engine and you go very fast... An afterburner (or reheat) is an additional component added to some jet engines, primarily those on military supersonic aircraft. Its purpose is to provide a temporary increase in thrust, both for supersonic flight and for takeoff (as the high wing loading typical of supersonic aircraft designs means that take-off speed is very high). On military aircraft the extra thrust is also useful for combat situations. This is achieved by injecting additional fuel into the jet pipe downstream of (i.e. after) the turbine. The advantage of afterburning is significantly increased thrust; the disadvantage is its very high fuel consumption and inefficiency, though this is often regarded as acceptable for the short periods during which it is usually used.

What is the Jet Engine's purpose?

The Jet engines purpose is to create thrust.With out Thrust a plane would not be able to fly.

What is thrust in an aircraft?

Thrust is the power made by a jet engine to propel an aircraft.


How much horsepower does a f22 motor has?

Jet power is measured in 'pounds of thrust' . The F-22 has 2 engines of 35,000 pounds thrust each. That's a lot for a small aircraft.


What does the engine on an airplane do?

They propel the aircraft by propellers or jet thrust.


What is a thrust for the jet engines?

The forward propulsion of an aircraft is called thrust.The thrust is given by the engines.


How to Convert shaft horse power to pounds of jet thrust?

pounds of thrust divided by 2,5 equals horsepower


How much horsepower does a fighter jet have?

Every engine has a different horsepower or thrust rating. -The F-15 is rated at 17,500 pounds thrust each engine. The Sukhoi-35 is rated at 19,400 per engine. These figures alone mean little, it all depends on the aircraft weight and aerodynamics.


What part of a plane and of a jet are used to create thrust?

The motors or engines. The propeller(s) generate forward thrust on piston or turbo-prop aircraft, and on jet aircraft, thrust is created both by combustion exhaust and by bypass air from the fan(s).


How jets fly?

The jet is an awesome aircraft that can propel in to the air by aerodynamics and thrust.


How are breaks applied in jet engines?

A jet engine has no brakes. Though they do have thrust reversers which change the direction of thrust to slow the aircraft down. Aeroplanes have brakes on the wheels.


How does an airplane get its thrust?

An aircraft gets thrust from an engine, either a piston engine driving a propeller or a jet driving a turbine.


Can you rev a jet engine without producing thrust?

No. Propeller aircraft however can adjust their props to a neutral position, allowing for no forward or reverse thrust. Jet engine blades are fixed.


What is the term for powering airplane engines?

Jet engines produce thrust. All others produce horsepower.
