Default RE: Is all thrust the same?
Exhaust gas speed of our turbines is around 400 MPH. Thrust is thrust is thrust. The little engines have to spin faster to achieve it, thereby theoretically wearing out faster.

The fuel has so many BTU's per ounce you're never gonna get more than that amount of energy no matter the size of the engine.
