Thrust Needed For Self Launching...
Does anyone know (not a guess) how much thrust in pounds from a jet engine
would be needed to self launch a 1000 lb sailplane to 2500 AGL? Or perhaps know a link whereby I can find the information or formula needed so I can determine the answer myself. I've looked ..googled..etc...can't find a thing. I did read some where online that 3,600,000 joules would be needed.....but can't find a conversion formula. Thanks Tom
