Calculation Formula

Power (P) = Thrust (T) × Velocity (v)

Where:
Power (P) is the power required (Watts)
Thrust (T) is the thrust force (Newtons)
Velocity (v) is the velocity at which the thrust is produced (meters per second)

Thrust to Power Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Thrust to Power Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the thrust force in Newtons (N) in the "Thrust" field.
  2. Enter the velocity at which the thrust is produced in meters per second (m/s) in the "Velocity" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the power required.
  4. The calculated power in Watts (W) will be displayed in the "Power" field.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the formula: Power (P) = Thrust (T) × Velocity (v). This formula is derived from the basic principle that power is the product of force and velocity. In the context of propulsion, thrust is the force produced by an engine or system, and velocity is the speed at which the thrust is generated.

Example

If an engine produces a thrust of 1000 N at a velocity of 50 m/s, the power required can be calculated as follows:

Power (P) = 1000 N × 50 m/s = 50,000 W (or 50 kW)
