Propeller Driven Aircraft with Thrust to Weight Ratio Greater than One

AI Thread Summary
Propeller-driven aircraft with a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than one are relatively rare and often found in specialized designs like stunt biplanes. A user received helpful information from another member who provided a link to a specific aircraft example, the Turbine Toucan. The original poster expressed gratitude for the guidance but was unsure how to formally acknowledge it on the forum. Overall, the discussion highlights the interest in high-performance propeller aircraft and the community's willingness to share resources. Engaging with knowledgeable members can lead to valuable insights in niche aviation topics.

Hello all, this is my first post. I was wondering if any of you could point me in the direction of a source with details on propeller aircraft able to produce a T / W Ratio greater than one.

Thank You!

Welcome to the PF.

I googled the title of your thread, and got lots of good hits. This is an example of a stunt biplane with T/W > 1:

Thank you berkeman, I checked out the aircraft you posted. It definitely has helped point me in the right direction.

I'm not quite sure though how to "officially" give thanks on this forum.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
