helicopters and turboprop airplanes use a turbine engine to drive a gearbox. Thrust would be meaningless in that application. |

So it would be more accurate to call it mulepower. If a helicopter engine was rated at 2,500 SHP, what SMP would that equal? |

Mule is about 50% less power. |

is horsepower; that value delivered to the drive shaft to perform functional work is shaft horsepower. Two different things, obviously. Engines may be capable of delivering a lot of HP but that which is allowed to be used is not usually lower. |

Good to see a few people on this forum still have a sense of humor. Next question, what is torque and what does it represent ? |

the battles of double negatives, or entendres. Torque? Measure of work being done, effective transfer of potential and kinetic energy to a positive outcome - yes, both. |
