1,6kg thrust is not much.
It depends on the efflux. A Kolibri T15 making 1.9kg can make a plane this size go atleast 250km/h, probably more. If the efflux of a pulsejet equals a turbine the 1.6kg of thrust would be equal to the double in an EDF, 3.2kg. 700watt/kg of thrust would result in a 2.3kW setup. Which must be enough for this flimsy airframe
