Thrust to Horsepower Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Horsepower (HP) from Thrust:

$HP = \frac{T \times V}{375}$

Where:

$HP$ is the Horsepower
$T$ is the Thrust in pound-force
$V$ is the Velocity in miles per hour

What is Thrust to Horsepower?

Converting thrust to horsepower involves multiplying the total pound-force of thrust by the velocity of the object and then dividing by 375. This conversion is often used in aerodynamics and other fields where both thrust and horsepower are relevant measurements of power.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Thrust ( $T$ ) = 500 pound-force
Velocity ( $V$ ) = 200 miles per hour

Using the formula:

$HP = \frac{500 \times 200}{375} = 266.67 \text{ HP}$

The Horsepower is 266.67 HP.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Thrust ( $T$ ) = 1000 pound-force
Velocity ( $V$ ) = 150 miles per hour

Using the formula:

$HP = \frac{1000 \times 150}{375} = 400 \text{ HP}$

The Horsepower is 400 HP.
