Aircraft Thrust is defined as the force generated through propulsion engines that move an aircraft through the air.
Symbol: T
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Weight
Weight Newton is a vector quantity and defined as the product of mass and acceleration acting on that mass.
Symbol: W
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Freestream Density
Freestream density is the mass per unit volume of air far upstream of an aerodynamic body at a given altitude.
Symbol: ρ
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Reference Area
The Reference Area is arbitrarily an area that is characteristic of the object being considered. For an aircraft wing, the wing's planform area is called the reference wing area or simply wing area.
