Power-to-weight

A metric often above 1 kW/kg, describing the power output relative to the mass of a compact engine.

This metric measures the efficiency of an engine’s power output in relation to its physical weight. It is a critical factor for small tactical unmanned aircraft.

Because two-stroke engines have few moving parts, they are able to deliver the highest power-to-weight ratio among piston engines.
