Title: Interpret information on a performance curve chart.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training II (20053-II) > Section: Understanding Aircraft Performance

Interpretation should include the following:

- Thrust is a force or pressure exerted on an object. Thrust is measured in pounds (lb) or newtons (N).
- Power is a measurement of the rate of performing work or transferring energy—kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE). Power is typically measured in horsepower (hp) or kilowatts (kw).
- We can think of power as the motion (KE and PE) a force (thrust) creates when exerted on an object over a period of time.
