Rocket Thrust Calculator
Calculate rocket engine thrust from mass flow rate and exhaust velocity
📖 Rocket Thrust
Rocket thrust is the force produced by expelling propellant. It's calculated as the product of mass flow rate and exhaust velocity, plus pressure thrust from the nozzle.

💡 Tips & Information
- Thrust is measured in Newtons (N) or pounds-force (lbf)
- Formula: F = ṁ × ve + (pe - pa) × Ae
- First term is momentum thrust, second is pressure thrust
- In vacuum, ambient pressure is zero
- Higher exhaust velocity and mass flow = more thrust
