Thrust Coefficient For a Turbofan Engine Calculator

The thrust coefficient for a turbofan engine is a dimensionless parameter that characterizes the efficiency of the engine in converting fuel into thrust. Turbofan engines are a type of jet engine commonly used in aviation, known for their high bypass ratio compared to turbojet engines.

The thrust coefficient is defined as the ratio of the thrust force produced by the propulsion system to the dynamic pressure of the incoming air. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

where,

where:

• C_T​ is the thrust coefficient,
• $T$ is the thrust force,
• $\rho$ is the air density,
• $V$ is the airspeed,
• $A$ is the reference area.
