Thrust in Level Flight Formulas
The Thrust of an aircraft is defined as the force generated through propulsion engines that move an aircraft through the air. And is denoted by T. Thrust is usually measured using the Newton for Force. Note that the value of Thrust is always positive.

FAQ
What is the Thrust?
The Thrust of an aircraft is defined as the force generated through propulsion engines that move an aircraft through the air. Thrust is usually measured using the Newton for Force. Note that the value of Thrust is always positive.
Can the Thrust be negative?
No, the Thrust, measured in Force cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Thrust?
Thrust is usually measured using the Newton[N] for Force. Exanewton[N], Meganewton[N], Kilonewton[N] are the few other units in which Thrust can be measured.
