Thrust-to-Weight Ratio Given By Vertical Velocity Calculator

Thrust-to-Weight Ratio in flight mechanics is a key performance parameter that quantifies the aircraft engine’s ability to generate forward thrust relative to the aircraft’s weight. Expressed as a ratio, it provides insights into the aircraft’s acceleration and climb capabilities. A higher thrust-to-weight ratio is generally indicative of better engine performance and the potential for improved maneuverability and climb rates. The formula  to calculate Thrust to weight ratio as follows:

Where:

• V_v is the vertical airspeed in m/s.
• V_a is the Aircraft velocity in m/s.
• q is the dynamic pressure in Pa
• W/S is the wing loading in pa.
• CD_min is the Minimum drag coefficient 
• k is the lift induced drag constant.
