I repeat:
"It all really boils down to this: When torque is constant, thrust is constant, and in the abscence of resistance, acceleration is constant. As rpms climb, horsepower goes up, but the acceleration doesn't change, because thrust hasn't changed, only the rotation speed of the engine has changed. 100 lbs. of thrust will give the same acceleration, regardless of the speed at which the turbine or engine is rotating."
If you don't get that, you are not as bright as I thought you were.
