1Thrust-to-weight ratio — is, as its name suggests, the ratio of instantaneous thrust to weight (where weight means weight at the Earth’s surfaceSutton (7th edition pg 442) thrust to weight ratio F/Wg is a dimensionless parameter that is identical to the acceleration of… …
2Thrust — is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton s Second and Third Laws. When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction the accelerated mass will cause a proportional but opposite force on that system.ExamplesA fixed wing… …
3Thrust reversal — Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine s exhaust or changing of propeller pitch so that the thrust produced is directed forward, rather than aft. This acts against the forward travel of the… …
4Thrust — Thrust, n. 1. A violent push or driving, as with a pointed weapon moved in the direction of its length, or with the hand or foot, or with any instrument; a stab; a word much used as a term of fencing. [1913 Webster] [Polites] Pyrrhus with his… …
5Thrust bearing — Thrust Thrust, n. 1. A violent push or driving, as with a pointed weapon moved in the direction of its length, or with the hand or foot, or with any instrument; a stab; a word much used as a term of fencing. [1913 Webster] [Polites] Pyrrhus with… …
6Thrust plane — Thrust Thrust, n. 1. A violent push or driving, as with a pointed weapon moved in the direction of its length, or with the hand or foot, or with any instrument; a stab; a word much used as a term of fencing. [1913 Webster] [Polites] Pyrrhus with… …
7Thrust vectoring — Infobox Aviation name = Thrust vectoring caption = The F 18 HARV, X 31, and F 16 MATV in flightThrust vectoring is the ability of an aircraft or other vehicle to direct the thrust from its main engine(s) in a direction other than parallel to the… …
8thrust-weight/thrust/weight ratio — The ratio of the maximum sea level static installed thrust to aircraft weight. It is one of the combat performance attributes that gives an idea of the maneuverability of a combat aircraft. This ratio is generally greater than one in air… …
9thrust loading — The gross weight of an aircraft divided by the thrust produced by its engines …
10thrust — The outward (lateral) force produced by the weight of an arch or vault. It is counterbalanced by buttress. Also see architecture and structure …
