33 years ago, during Huey conversion, we were told that the T53 produced about 10 lbs of thrust.

Logical, when you consider that the function of the turbine is to extract as much energy as possible from the hot gases, and leave them with enough grunt to just make it outside the engine.

A high-speed exhaust means you have wasted too much energy.
