Uninstalled Vs Installed Thrust Rating
Hi,
I read in other forum that the CF-6-50C2 has an uninstalled thrust rating of 52,500 lbs thrust at sea level. Does it mean a thrust with removed EDP & IDG (if this engine is fitted with IDG otherwise CSD & generator) and no bleed air? (engine on test cell or aircraft)
Will this thrust be reduced if the EDP & the generator (IDG) are installed on engine (engine mounted on aircraft) but their switches are positioned to the OFF position? (with the IDG connected to the gearbox and no bleed)
Thank you.
Best regards
