How much thrust do i need for a custom jet?
Im building a new jet thats completely built up from balsa and i need a brushless motor, edf untit, and speed control to power the beast. How do i calculate how much thrust i need to power it? And how do i look for such specifications from a brushless motor? Is there any other factors i should consider when finishing this jet? Like wing loading or such? Im loosely copying another plane in this planes design and my jet is plus or minus 2 inches on every dimension when compared to the other plane. Everything but the wings that is, because the wings are forward swept and are maybe 25-30% smaller. I think since its a jet thats gonna be travelling pretty fast, that the percentage won't matter much. Can anyone help??
