How much % extra thrust can one expect in this case?
Hard to estimate, with a significantly modified engine that takes large amounts of energy from the shaft maybe 50%?
Depends on how far Lockhead went for the RQ-170. If it is a ordinary civil engine maybe 10-20%.
But most important is the fuel efficiency increase.
