to correctly build the right size jet.
anyone know?
Thanks in advance:Chuck

RE: G's/thrust
1 lb = 0.45359237 kg = 453.59237 gram <=> 9.80665 N
Please note that gram and kilogram are units of mass, not force. The metric unit for force is Newton. The gravitational force exerted on a body with a mass of 1 kg (=1000 grams) at the surface of Earth is approximately 9.81 N.
1 lbf = 4.44822 N, i.e., a 120 N turbine provides 27 lbf of thrust.
