According to the type certificate data sheet for the Pratt and Whitney
62,000 thrust engine, the max continuous thrust should be ~52,000 and the 62,000 for 5 minutes max. The question is, does N1 @ 100% produce 52,000 lbs of thrust or does it produce 60,200 lbs of thurst? Any airline pilots out there that can shed light on this? Thanks, Kevin |

Neither...N1 for a given thrust rating will vary with Temp/Pressure. Airline engines are not "full throttle" engines while during my time, military engines were. A military engine was set to produce 100% RPM at full throttle, and they accepted either more or less thrust depending on Temp/Pressure conditions. For commercial engines, an EPR/RPM is computed for each takeoff and the thrust lever adjusted to obtain that value. Bob Moore ATP B-727 B-707 |

Are you putting a PW4000 on a homebuilt? G |

I wish...But, no. I am asking b/c we're trying to configure an
aircraft in x-plane flight simulator and we'd like for everything to be as realistic as possible. I disguised the question to ward off those who are critical of others that post topics in groups that aren't directly related to that specific group... thanks, Kevin |
