Net thrust is given by ________(a) gross thrust minus the ram drag(b) drag into velocity(c) gross thrust divided by weight(d) lift to drag ratioThis question was posed to me at a job interview.This is a very interesting question from Propulsion in division Propulsion of Aircraft Design

Answer»

Right OPTION is (a) gross thrust minus the RAM drag

Easiest explanation: NET thrust is given by gross thrust minus the ram drag. Drag into velocity will give power not the thrust. This power can be CALCULATED by subtracting the excess power from total available power. Lift to drag ratio is called aerodynamic efficiency of the AIRCRAFT.
