An aircraft is flying at 250 m/s at a height of 10 km where the air temperature 223 K and the pressure is 26 kPa. One of the two engines powering the aircraft has a compressor ratio of 6, and an air-fuel ratio of 75. The fuel rate to the combustor is 0.7 kg/s. If the heating value of the fuel is 40 MJ/kg, compute the thrust generated by the engine.
