Propulsion Efficiency evaluator uses Propulsion Efficiency = (2*(Vehicle Speed/Exhaust Speed))/(1+(Vehicle Speed/Exhaust Speed)^2) to evaluate the Propulsion Efficiency, Propulsion Efficiency formula itself calculates the propulsive efficiency based on the ratio of the effective exhaust velocity to the velocity of the rocket relative to its exhaust, it quantifies how efficiently the propulsion system converts the energy of the propellant into forward thrust, providing valuable insights into the performance of the rocket propulsion system. Propulsion Efficiency is denoted by ηprop symbol.
