How the Power to Mass Ratio Calculator Works

Our power to mass ratio calculator uses SI units:

  • 1 HP = 745.7 W
  • 1 kW = 1000 W
  • 1 lb = 0.453592 kg
  • Formula: PMR = P ÷ m
  • Acceleration: a = PMR ÷ 9.81 (m/s²)

Understanding Power to Mass Ratio Calculator Results

You get:

  • Main Ratio (e.g., 4.2 W/kg)
  • All Formats (W/kg, HP/kg, kW/kg, m/s²)
  • Performance Class (Elite, Pro, Amateur)
  • Climb Rate / Acceleration

Why Use This Power to Mass Ratio Calculator?
