Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Overthrust

👉 Overthrust is a term used in aviation and aerospace engineering to describe the condition of an aircraft where it experiences excessive lift or drag. This can occur when the wing area exceeds its theoretical capacity, leading to a significant increase in lift or drag. Overthrust occurs when the pressure difference between the air entering the wings and the air exiting them is greater than the weight of the aircraft (airframe load). This can lead to structural damage, engine failure, and may require the aircraft to be forced
