How does KW relate to lbs thrust??
I was recently accosted by an enthusiast who wanted to know how many times more powerful my CFM56-3B1 engines (each 20,000lbs static thrust) were, compared to a car engine rated, say, at 190 bhp. After persuading him that thrust can't be compared to horse power directly as one is a measure of force and the other is a measure of power, we were left without a convincing answer. Is there, however, a possible comparison?
