If the thrust is directed straight down and torque is counteracted, the weight it can lift is less than 45 pounds. It requires at least 45 pounds of thrust just to make 45pounds of vtol aircraft hover . It takes more than that to make it climb vertically up. To climb implies an acceleration against gravity and it takes at least 45 pounds thrust just to balance gravity's pull against a 45pound mass. With a winged aircraft the thrust can be less than the total weight of the aircraft and it can still fly and climb with less thrust than the mass of the plane. A high lift to drag ratio of the wing and effective wing area means that the thrust of the plane overcomes the drag of the plane. The wing's passage through the air creates the lift. The drag caused by the creation of 45pounds of lift is less than 45 pounds for an efficient wing.

How much thrust does the space shuttle require to lift off?
about 7.2 million pounds of thrust (Solid Rocket Boosters and Main Engines combined)
How much weight on a pivot would it take to lift 100 pounds?
50 pounds
How does weight affect how things fly through the air?
Weight affects the amount of lift required to raise the weight. Thrust determines how much power is required to move the weight and at what speed.
How much is 33000 pound of thrust?
33,000 pounds of thrust.
How much weight can the 3 point lift on a 3000 ford tractor?
the 3000 is factory rated to lift 1700 pounds.
What weight did Neil Hurst lift?
Neil Hurst could list approximately 400 pounds. However, he was trained and fit enough to attempt to lift that much weight.
How much weight does a standard vehicle lift hold?
A standard vehicle lift can usually with stand 60000 to 70000 pounds. It would depend on the actual lift though.
How much weight can one person lift by themselves according to OSHA guidelines?
OSHA does not have guidelines on how much weight one person can lift. However the lifting guidelines from NIOSH suggest a maximum of about 40 pounds.
What the difference between thrust and lift?
Thrust: How much power that is being used to go forward. Lift on the other hand: is how much power that is used to gain altitude, like in a rocket ship or a plane.
How much thrust does it take to take off from earth into space?
Any amount of thrust that's greater than the weight of the rocket vehicle will lift it off of the ground and accelerate it upward. If you keep it up long enough, the vehicle will be in space.
Why is there a 45 pound weight in a gym?
Instead of adding a 25 pound weight, and then 2 ten pound weights, it would be much easier to add a 45 pound weight. A 45 pound weight is standard in every gym, and not everyone can lift 10 more pounds if there was a fifty pound weight (five extra pounds on each side totals to 10 more pounds to lift).
Is a crane's working load the maximum weight it is able to lift?
The maximum load that the crane can lift is 18 metric tons (39,690 pounds), but the crane cannot lift that much weight if the load is positioned at the end of the jib. The closer the load is positioned to the mast (center of rotation), the more weight the crane can lift safely.
