Turbojet - Thrust-producer /// Piston-prop - Power-producer
Hi,
Is anyone able to explain why a turbojet is known as a thrust-producer, but a piston-prop combo is known as a power-producer?
My ground instructor was unable to give a good reason, and although we don't need to know the reason why for ATPL's, there must be a good scientific reason why?
Perhaps turbojet thrust is linear for any given condition with throttle position, but piston-prop power is linear with throttle? I don't know, just guessing...?
Cheers.
