Best Answer

Depends on how powerful you want it to be.

Basically thrust has to be powerful enough to get the plane to take-off speed, or it'll stay on the ground. And then you'll want a bit more than that to get a decent climbing rate out of it.

Exactly how much it'll need in numbers is impossible to say, as it'll depend on the aircraft. A bigger aircraft will need more than a smaller aircraft. If you want high climbing rates you'll need more than if you're OK with low climbing rates.

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.

How does thrust help an airplane?

Thrust is the force that provides an airplane its speed. Thrust must be brought to a certain level and maintained in order for the plane to move at a speed that is sufficient to create lift from the wings.
