Question about GE CF6 and rated thrust

At what N1 setting does one achieve a rated thrust level at sea level?

My main example would be CF6-50C2B (53,200lbs). Does the engine achieve this thrust at 100% N1, or does it achieve this power at the maximum N1 setting, between 117 and 118.5%?

If it achieves 53k thrust at 100% N1, how much more thrust is it producing at maximum power?


Thanks guy.


As an aside, does anyone have any detailed charts or any sort of information they could send me regarding the CF6-50C2 as it pertains to DC-10s? I'm working on a flight dynamics engine for a flight simulator program and I want to ensure I'm being as accurate as I can be given the constraints of the simulator software.
