net thrust

[′net ′thrəst] (aerospace engineering) The gross thrust of a jet engine minus the drag due to the momentum of the incoming air.

net thrust

net thrustTwo situations when there is neutral stability in atmosphere: (a) when environmental lapse rate (ERL) = dry adiabatic lapse rate (DALR) and air is dry and (b) when ELR = saturated adiabatic lapse rate (SALR) and air is saturated.The gross thrust of a jet engine minus the drag as a result of the momentum of the incoming air.
