How much thrust does an F-16 have?

Propulsion: One Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-220 turbofan engine of 23,000 pounds static sea level thrust each with afterburner. Length: 47 feet 8 inches (14.52 m). Height: 16 feet 5 inches (5.01 m). Wingspan: 31 feet (9.45).

What jet has the best thrust-to-weight ratio?

With an 8-to-1 thrust-to-weight ratio—the highest of any jet engine in production at the time—Northrop publicly hailed the J85 for making both aircraft possible. The engine was designed to produce 2,950 pounds of non-afterburning thrust.

Why is F-16 unstable?

The YF-16 became the world’s first aircraft to be aerodynamically unstable by design. With its rearward center of gravity, its natural tendency is to nose up rather than down. So level flight is created by the elevator pushing the tail up rather than down, and therefore pushing the entire aircraft up.

How much thrust is needed to lift 200 lbs?

First try to understand what is pound force thrust. So 200 pounds thrust means around 900 Newtons or kg m/ sec^2.

What plane has the highest power to weight?

The most powerful commercial airline jets with four engines, the Boeing 747–8 and Airbus A380 have a thrust-to-weight ratio much less than 1:1. The 747–8, with a total of (4 x 72,300 pounds of thrust) 289,200 pounds of thrust, has a maximum takeoff weight of 975,000 pounds.
