[QUOTE="Smoggie, post: 141780, member: 5165"] As Randy said.. Watts are units to measure power, like inches or centimetres are units to measure length. Power and thrust on the other hand are not the same thing and cant be directly linked. For example at one extreme it's possible to lift over 100lb with 400W if you have a large enough and slow enough tuning props. For proof of that check out the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human-powered_helicopter']Atlas human power helicopter[/URL] that lift a few hundred pounds with only one human power (maybe 500W?)
