Calculation Formula

HP = (Thrust × Velocity) / 745.7

Where:
HP = Horsepower
Thrust = Force in Newtons
Velocity = Speed in meters per second
745.7 = Conversion factor (1 HP = 745.7 watts)

Result

Horsepower (HP): 0.00

Thrust to Horsepower Converter Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Thrust to Horsepower Converter calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the thrust in Newtons (N) in the first input field.
  2. Enter the velocity in meters per second (m/s) in the second input field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the horsepower.
  4. The result will be displayed in the result section.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the following formula to convert thrust to horsepower:

HP = (Thrust × Velocity) / 745.7

Where:

  • HP is the horsepower
  • Thrust is the force in Newtons
  • Velocity is the speed in meters per second
  • 745.7 is the conversion factor (1 HP = 745.7 watts)

Example

If a jet engine produces a thrust of 50,000 N at a velocity of 300 m/s, the horsepower can be calculated as:

HP = (50,000 × 300) / 745.7 = 20,134.69 HP

Applications

This calculator is useful for aerospace engineers, automotive designers, and anyone working with propulsion systems to convert thrust measurements to more commonly used horsepower units.
