It is important because it is essential for for climbing of aircraft. There is a limit for thrust to weight ratio. When an airplane exceeds it, it cannot climb effeciently.
A thrust to weight ratio of 1:1 is good on RC planes so I'd recommend 5KG of thrust
An F-16's max take-off weight is 42,300 pounds
The thrust-to-weight ratio is a measure typically used in the context of vehicles, particularly aircraft and rockets, to determine their ability to accelerate. For Earth as a planet, this concept isn't directly applicable since Earth does not produce thrust like a vehicle. However, if we consider the gravitational force (weight) acting on Earth itself, the concept doesn't yield meaningful values, as "thrust" is not a relevant factor in the context of a planet's mass and gravity. Instead, Earth is primarily characterized by its mass (approximately 5.97 x 10^24 kg) and gravitational acceleration (about 9.81 m/s² at its surface).
Lift, weight, thrust and drag.
Empty Weapons:18,200 Ib;max take off 27,200 Ib.
Lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.
An F-16 can accelerate vertically to some extent, but it is not designed for sustained vertical flight like a fighter jet specifically built for that purpose. The aircraft's thrust-to-weight ratio allows for a vertical climb, but as altitude increases, the reduced air density affects engine performance and lift, limiting acceleration. Ultimately, while it can gain altitude quickly, its ability to maintain high speed in a vertical climb is restricted.
Solid fueled rocket engines are relatively simple in design, have a high thrust-to-weight ratio, and are easy to store and transport. Additionally, they can provide a lot of thrust in a short amount of time, making them ideal for quick acceleration needs.
lift and thrust overcome weight and drag
As long as the thrust is more than the weight of the rocket (toy or otherwise) the rocket will accelerate. When the thrust matches the weight, the rocket will cruise. When the thrust is less then the rocket will slow.
Thrust is the force generated by an engine to propel an object forward, like an airplane. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, pulling it downward towards the Earth. In order for an object to fly, the thrust generated by its engines must be greater than its weight.
