A rubber engine is scaled from \( 100 \) kN to \( 120 \) kN thrust. If engine weight scales with thrust, its weight rises by

  • A.2 per cent
  • B.20 per cent
  • C.44 per cent
  • D.10 per cent

Answer: B

Correct answer: 20 per cent

With weight scaling linearly with thrust,

\[ \frac{120 - 100}{100} = 0.20 = 20\% \]

A rubber engine is a notional engine scaled to whatever thrust the sizing loop asks for, with its weight, dimensions and fuel consumption scaled by simple rules. It lets the loop close without waiting for a real engine to be selected, and it is replaced by a fixed engine deck once a manufacturer is chosen.
