Talk:Chrysler T36D

Turboprop? 2,500lb?
Yes, turboprops may give residual thrust from their exhaust, but surely the units for their output should not be in lbs, kg or kN, but hp or kW!!!!Petebutt (talk) 18:49, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Contemporary references often used mass measurements for turboprops (known at that time time as turbine-airscrew engines) and their power output (propeller and residual exhaust combined) was termed as 'thrust', shaft horsepower plus a mass measurement for exhaust thrust is common later. I suspect the figure here is the total thrust, it compares with the Rolls-Royce RB.50 Trent. Fairly academic as it was apparently never built.
