History at High Altitudes During the Cold War, the UK required long-range, high-altitude bombers to deliver nuclear payloads, and that’s when A.V Vulcan engines had a high thrust-to-weight ratio, allowing it to reach higher altitudes much faster than the other bombers in its category. Roe & Company (Avro) came up with Avro Vulcan.

The F-15’s vertical takeoff capabilities, achieved through its impressive thrust-to-weight ratio and advanced flight control systems, allow rapid ascents and extreme maneuverability, vital in combat situations. This immense thrust capacity is a key factor in the F-15’s speed, vertical takeoff capabilities, and overall combat effectiveness.

This allows air to be drawn through the top of the fan and expelled out through the bottom in the form of downward thrust. Once airborne, the aircraft relies on a conventional rear-mounted propeller to provide forward thrust, while the panels that cover the wing-mounted fans return to their fully closed position.

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. I also departed with the minimum amount of fuel I was comfortable with (airlines use this strategy to increase performance and/or increase payload capacity).

Can you fly a zero-thrust, single-engine approach to minimums today? I have one airplane in my hangar that can only carry 500 pounds of payload with the fuel tanks topped off—that’s it, if I’m going to respect the max-takeoff-weight limit, and I will. That optimistic outlook doesn’t apply to pilots with rusty skills.
