Thrust And Efficiency

Trading Thrust and Efficiency

This post helps explain why there are different propulsive devices are in use today.


                                                                              Thrust                    Efficiency

Propeller/reciprocating engine         Low                           High

Turbojet                                                         Higher                       Substantial

Rocket Engine                                             Lower                        Poor





In general, more thrust = less efficiency
