Enter the total thrust (N) and the total weight (kg) into the Thrust to Weight Ratio Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Thrust to Weight Ratio.

## 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)

To calculate the thrust to weight ratio, divide the total thrust by the total weight.

## How to Calculate Thrust to Weight Ratio?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Thrust to Weight Ratio.

Example Problem #1:

1. First, determine the total thrust (N).
• The total thrust (N) is given as: 10000.
2. Next, determine the total weight (kg).
• The total weight (kg) is provided as: 500.
3. 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
