Does the cannon of the A-10 deliver more thrust than the engines do? The A-10 Warthog is built around a 30 mm cannon that fires depleted uranium rounds, 65 of them per second.



I heard from someone who worked on the flight controls a long time ago, that when the cannon is fired it provides more thrust than the engines. Is this true? What are the effects of this?

Update 

The original question was answered by @Gypaets: thrust of the cannon is comparable to thrust of one engine. The wikipedia article on the GAU-8 cannon mentions that effects of thrust of the cannon are well accounted for by placing the firing barrel at the centre line of the air frame. Ron Gordon's answer reveals some interesting side effects from spooling the cannon up and down when operating - the aircraft bucks. It's a big cannon.

The A-10 uses a GAU-8/A. According to Wikipedia:


  The average recoil force of the GAU-8/A is 10,000 pounds-force (45
  kN), which is slightly more than the output of one of the A-10's two
  TF34 engines (9,065 lbf / 40.3 kN each). While this recoil force is
  significant, in practice a cannon fire burst only slows the aircraft a
  few miles per hour in level flight


Your statement is only partially true: two engines have more, but one engine has about 10% less thrust than the recoil force of the cannon.

The recoil force of MiG-27's GSh-6-30 was even larger: 60 kN.

As pointed out in a comment by @tj1000 the recoil of the GAU-8/A wasn't such a problem as the smoke from its shell propellant. If you're looking for the video mentioned in the comment (test pilot ejection due to engines out after firing ammunition with a new flash suppressor) this is the link (12:08-13:59).
