Default Jet Engine Thrust Question

"Darkwing" wrote
How does rated thrust for a jet engine translate to actual power?


I know that this is going to be hard to believe, but...because of the
formula for computing "horsePOWER", when the jet is not moving, there
is no "POWER" being produced, just thrust. At somewhere around 300 KTS,
one pound of thrust will equal one horsepower. Google it!
