I have seen some K180s put out k210 power and some just 180 power. Differences in the NGV vanes and turbine blades along with the compressor all change thrust.
Yes I already Know there can be some differences but we really need the Kingtech to explain why some of their engines are not at the rated RPM. Like I said if they know some K 80’s can produce 19 lb thrust at
less than 145 K they should say so and certify each engines shipped with the exact thrust that engine produced.
