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.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
