Rotor: Thrust and horsepower are different things entirely, there is no direct conversion, a bit like torque and horsepower in a car. You can provide a rough conversion, as fruit has, but it makes some major assumptions.
I'd started posting a fuller explanation but then realised I'd probably mess it up. The great thing about Pprune is that there's always a real expert coming along soon.
