Turboshaft engines are commonly used in helicopters and other rotorcraft to provide mechanical power to drive the rotor system. The power output of a turboshaft engine is crucial for rotor propulsion and various other aircraft systems. Here is the formula, definition, and SI unit for Turboshaft Engine Power Output:
Turboshaft Engine Power Output (P): This represents the mechanical power produced by the turboshaft engine and is typically measured in watts (W), kilowatts (kW), or horsepower (hp).The formula for calculating Turboshaft Engine Power Output is:
- Torque (τ): Torque is the rotational force produced by the turboshaft engine and is typically measured in newton-meters (N·m) or foot-pounds (ft·lb).
- Angular Velocity (ω): Angular velocity represents the rotational speed of the engine’s output shaft and is typically measured in radians per second (rad/s).
