Study of Aircraft Thrust-to-Weight Ratio

In order to ensure the best performance of aircraft, the aircraft designer may face challenges regarding the critical parameters where there were lack of references that they can refer to. The method used for this investigation is by doing analysis in terms of mathematical formula for their performance parameters and to calculate their respective thrust-to-weight ratio. Numbers of tables and graphs has been formed in order to show the result of this study. Hence, with the result of this research then the aircraft designers can increase their references to design an aircraft especially regarding with its thrust-to-weight ratio and can clearly see the comparison between different types of aircrafts. The relations between the thrust-to-weight ratios with aircraft performances can also be determined which will lead to the importance of the thrust-to-weight ratio in designing an aircraft to ensure the best aircraft performance that will be use in aviation industry in the future especially between various types of aircrafts such as military aircraft, commercial aircraft, wide body aircraft and narrow body aircraft. At the end of this study, a conclusion can be made that a thrust-to-weight ratio of an aircraft can never be only one while its value is actually depending on the situations, altitude, density, temperature and   their aerodynamic hence the value is inconsistent.
