Perhaps a review of the meaning of flat rated thrust will help. I don't need to spell it out - someone's already done it:And yes, gas turbine engines are capable of more thrust on a cold day (surprise, surprise), but will encounter turbine temp or RPM or other limitations in hot day conditions. The -115B produces 115K# up to a corner point (30C I think) but it's cut back above that corner point.
