Jan 20, 2023 at 8:39 comment added Chris_abc IMHO these kinds of metrics are useless and don't really tell you anything except for 'sounding cool' (to a layman that is). The math/physics just make a high power to weight ratio much easier to achieve for a smaller model than for a vehicle in real-life (like @niels_nielsen pointed out). I would personally take your project less seriously if you made comparisons like this.

Jul 26, 2021 at 16:45 comment added Criticizing Israel not allowed @JeremyGilbert actually, not easily without knowing how much air is being accelerated. Also note planes have wings which don't count as thrust but do affect the efficiency. Perhaps it would be easier to compare something like max g-force?
Jul 24, 2021 at 19:48 comment added Jeremy Gilbert I understand you can convert power to weight into thrust to weight but not feeling very confident in doing the math myself. Hoping someone who knows this type of these intimately could offer a perspective.
Jul 24, 2021 at 19:26 comment added Solar Mike Well, the latest version of the Pegasus produces 106kN of thrust - a Rolls Royce engine that was used in the Hawker Harrier... You can start researching weights and power to weight ratios for any form of transport you wish - it is only division...
