Thrust to Weight Ratio Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Thrust to Weight Ratio.
TWR = T / W
- Where TWR is the Thrust to Weight Ratio (N/kg)
- T is the total thrust (N)
- W is the total weight (kg)
How to Calculate Thrust to Weight Ratio?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Thrust to Weight Ratio.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total thrust (N).
- The total thrust (N) is given as: 10000.
- Next, determine the total weight (kg).
- The total weight (kg) is provided as: 500.
- Finally, calculate the Thrust to Weight Ratio using the equation above:
TWR = T / W
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
TWR = 10,000 / 500 = 20 (N/kg)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
total thrust (N) = 50000
total weight (kg) = 2000
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
TWR = T / W = ?
