Beginner's
Guide to Propulsion Note:
Since students are researching their own data on various sites on
the Internet, their figures in their table may vary. Answers below are
just four examples that were found. If you want to narrow their search
options and the amount of time needed, give them the name of the aircraft
to start. All information below was found at the Boeing,
Pratt
& Whitney, or PilotPortal
sites.
Note: Weight (in Newtons) is equal to mass times the gravitational acceleration rate of 9.8 m/s2. Note: Remember that kN is simply N divided by 1000. Note: For Airplane Weight, if more than one value is given, find and use the average of the values. Recall that to find an average, simply add up the values given and divide by the number of values.
