A series of possible methods for thrust determination in an aircraft are described. An indication of the thrust can be made use of in the test phase of an aircraft; but it can also be employed at a later stage for monitoring of the propulsion unit, for propulsion unit and flight control, and, finally, for flight optimization. Indirect methods for thrust measurement are described, and the relation between the measurement parameters and the thrust is indicated. The sensitivity of the procedure to measurement errors is considered. Finally, the problems of a direct thrust measurement are considered; and the necessary requirements on the propulsion unit mounting are stated. The procedure most likely to solve the problems described is a direct thrust measurement. (Author)
