Thrust Horsepower (THP) required is a measure used in aviation to determine the power needed to overcome drag and maintain level flight. It is a way to express the power requirements of an aircraft.Formula:
The formula for Thrust Horsepower (THP) required is as follows:
- THP is Thrust Horsepower required (in horsepower, hp).
- T is the thrust required (in pounds-force, lbf).
- V is the velocity of the aircraft (in feet per second, ft/s).
