thrust, gross
Aerospace; Control systems
The thrust developed by the engine, not taking into consideration any presence of initial-air-mass momentum.
thrust, net
Aerospace; Control systems
The effective thrust developed by the engine during flight, taking into consideration the initial momentum of the air mass prior to entering theinfluence of the engine.
thrust, reverser
Aerospace; Control systems
A device used to partially reverse the flow of the engine's nozzle discharge gases and thus create a thrust force in the rearward direction.
thrust, specific fuel consumption
Aerospace; Control systems
The fuel that the engine must burn per hour to generate 1 pound of thrust.
thrust, static
Aerospace; Control systems
Same as gross thrust without any initial air mass momentum present due to the engine's static condition.
torque
Aerospace; Control systems
A force, multiplied by its lever arm, acting at right angles to an axis.
