The Concorde's engines, specifically the Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 engines, each produced approximately 38,050 pounds of thrust at takeoff. With four engines, the total thrust generated was around 152,200 pounds. This powerful thrust allowed the Concorde to reach supersonic speeds and maintain its unique cruising altitude.
The Concorde's four Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 engines produced a total of approximately 38,050 pounds of thrust each, equating to around 152,200 pounds of thrust combined. In terms of horsepower, this translates to about 38,000 horsepower per engine, or roughly 152,000 horsepower in total for the aircraft. This immense power allowed Concorde to achieve supersonic speeds and maintain its performance during flight.
The Concorde was capable of carrying a maximum of 210,940 pounds of fuel.
33,000 pounds of thrust is equivalent to a force of 146.9 kilonewtons. This amount of thrust is commonly used as a unit of measurement for the power of jet engines and rockets.
The Concorde's Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 engines consumed approximately 25,000 to 30,000 pounds of fuel per hour during cruise flight. This high fuel consumption was primarily due to the aircraft's supersonic speeds and the need for significant thrust. In comparison, this is much higher than that of subsonic commercial jets. The fuel efficiency was a trade-off for the speed and performance capabilities of the Concorde.

To convert pounds to kilograms: pounds x 0.454 = kg22 lbs. x 0.454 = 9.988 kg of thrust
To convert thrust in pounds to horsepower, you can use the formula: horsepower = (thrust in pounds × speed in feet per minute) / 33,000. For instance, if the thrust is applied at a speed of 1 foot per second, 68,000 pounds of thrust would be equivalent to approximately 2,066 horsepower. However, without a specific speed, a direct conversion cannot be accurately provided.
Jet power is measured in 'pounds of thrust' . The F-22 has 2 engines of 35,000 pounds thrust each. That's a lot for a small aircraft.
The SR-71's J58 engine produces 142 kilo-newtons (32,000 pounds) of thrust.
The Concorde had 4 Rolls-Royce engines, each capable of 38,000lbs of thrust For converting lbs->hp, see link below.
The space shuttle produced about 7.8 million pounds of thrust during liftoff.
To convert thrust in pounds to horsepower, you can use the formula: horsepower = (thrust in pounds × velocity in feet per second) / 550. Since thrust alone doesn’t provide a speed, if we assume a typical jet engine operates at a speed of around 500 feet per second, 1,000 pounds of thrust would be approximately 909 horsepower. However, the actual horsepower can vary significantly based on the specific velocity used in the calculation.
