:Agreed.

TWR 1 won't hover?

"TWR of exactly one will not make the rocket hover in place"

Will not? I think you mean, it _will_.

Agreed. There are several other pages where math is broken out in detail, and a large number of tutorials and large quantity of terminology content that replaces this page with improved language. --TythosEternal (talk) 23:43, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
