Abbreviated bhp. brake horsepower Typical variation of brake horse power with altitude for given RPM values.The power delivered to the propeller shaft (main drive or main output) of an aircraft engine. It is the difference between the horsepower delivered by the engine and that consumed by friction. The actual horsepower received by the propeller of an aircraft. Brake horsepower decreases with altitude. See also brake mean effective pressure.MedicalSeeBHPSee BHP See BHP |
