FHP is the Friction Horse Power
2007-02-21 08:01:42 · update #1
As long as the Friction Mean Effective Pressure (Fmep):is met,( A theoretical average pressure that would have to be present in each cylinder during the power stroke to overcome the power consumed by friction within the engine.)
Fmep is usually calculated by first determining the Indicated Mean Effective Pressure (Imep): the maximum horsepower that can be produced from the recorded cylinder pressures. The Brake Mean Effective Pressure (Bmep) is then measured by performing a traditional "dyno" test. The Fmep is calculated by finding the difference between the Imep and the Bmep: Fmep = Imep - Bmep. Fmep can also be directly measured with a motoring (electric) dyno.
In short, the "break horse power"(or shaft horse power) at full throttle is sufficient to over come any slight FHP, so it is a waste of time to event consider it .

FHP? What the hell is FHP? The universal language of aviation is English. Try using it.

Try using (more) flap...?
Just a guess, as I have no idea what the heck you are talking about. Care to enlighten me?
