What is the maximum allowable torque during takeoff?

The maximum allowable torque during takeoff for the T-6 is set at 100%. This limit is established to ensure the engine and airframe can safely handle the stresses and operational conditions present during takeoff, where maximum performance is critical. Operating at or below this specified torque level helps prevent engine damage or failure and maintains aircraft integrity. Adhering to this limit ensures proper performance characteristics, including thrust and responsiveness, which are essential for a successful takeoff.

Exceeding this limit, as seen in other options, could lead to increased wear on the engine components, potential overheating, and reduced reliability during critical phases of flight. Therefore, pilots are trained to follow this operational limit for safe and effective aircraft operation.
