Coefficient Of Thrust For Propellers Calculator

The Coefficient of Thrust is a dimensionless parameter that quantifies the efficiency of a propeller or rotor in converting power into thrust. A higher C_T​ indicates a more efficient conversion of power into thrust, which is desirable for propeller and rotor designs in aviation and other applications. The formula to calculate Coefficient of Thrust as follows:

Where:

• C_T​ is the Coefficient of Thrust (dimensionless).
• $T$ is the thrust produced by the propeller (in Newtons).
• $\rho$ is the air density (in kilograms per cubic meter).
• $n$ is the rotational speed of the propeller (in revolutions per second).
• $D$ is the diameter of the propeller (in meters).
