hello
a plane would need a thrust to weight ratio of 1 of fly straight up without losing speed
but how can a plane in level flight maintain its altitude with <1 TWR
since to maintain a level flight you need to have lift = weight
so your engine needs to supply enough power to generate enough lift, how can it do this with <1 TWR
thanks
