How to Calculate Propeller Thrust (Equation + Calculator)

Calculating propeller thrust is a useful part of the aircraft design process. It can help you choose the right components and determine your limits for useful load.

However, we recommend always using a thrust stand to validate calculations.

In this article we will cover both – the theoretical side that relies on equations and assumptions, and the practical side that uses physical testing to obtain true values. 

We will also show you how to use a propeller thrust calculator that estimates performance based on your inputs and real propeller data.
