Convert Thrust to Horsepower

 
 

 

 

A Global Express cruising at Mach 0.85 at 41,000 ft

Each engine produces 14.750 lb (65,610 N) of static thrust.

To cruise at a velocity of 823 ft/s (250 m/s) the calculated resulting power generated is 44,143 hp (32,908 kW).

(2 X 14,750) X 823 / 550 = 44,143 hp

1 Horsepower = 550 ft-lb / second

Cruise thrust may only be 25 to 30 percent of rated static thrust.
