Engine performance
Engine types vary greatly in a number of different ways:
- energy efficiency
- fuel/propellant consumption (brake specific fuel consumption for shaft engines, thrust specific fuel consumption for jet engines)
- power to weight ratio
- thrust to weight ratio
- Torque curves (for shaft engines) thrust lapse (jet engines)
- Compression ratio for piston engines, Overall pressure ratio for jet engines and gas turbines
