Thrust Conversions Ancient And Modern
Hope this is the correct place to ask...
Essentially I`m creating a little software utility to make comparisons between the performance of historic and modern aircraft. The user inputs various parameters eg weight (sorry mass) ... power, wing area etc and various results are displayed for comparison to other types.
The results need to meaningful rather than super accurate.
I`m struggling a bit to work out the best way to compare engine performance (power) Specifically a quick and dirty way to convert HP, ESHP, lb/kg st.t. etc to a common denominator.
I`m thinking just convert to Newtons and leave it at that? Would this be a valid assumption.
