| Nov 6, 2014 at 17:03 | comment | added | Peter Kämpf | @JayCarr: Both go up and down together, but within strict limits and not linearly. Increasing fuel flow when the intake cannot provide more air will lead to a compressor surge, and flow collapses. Shortly after, the turbine will start to melt from the excessive gas temperature. | |
| Nov 6, 2014 at 16:04 | comment | added | Jae Carr | Well, I know what I'm curious about is if engine RPM and thrust are strictly proportional or if there are a lot of mitigating factors. | |

| Nov 6, 2014 at 15:25 | comment | added | Jae Carr | This is a good answer, but as it stands it's more of a response to the other answer. Could you possibly expand on the comments you make on how RPM effects this? Since that was the original question? | |
| Nov 6, 2014 at 15:17 | comment | added | Raj | This is quantifiable? Thrust as a function of RPM (and other terms)? | |
