'Schubkraft' is made up of 'Schub' (thrust) and 'Kraft' (force). 'Schub' refers to forward movement, while 'Kraft' refers to the strength of this effect.
Die Schubkraft des Raketenantriebs nimmt beim Start stark zu.
The thrust of the rocket engine increases sharply during launch.
'Schubkraft' is mainly used in technical and scientific texts, especially in connection with aircraft, rockets, and other propulsion systems.
Ingenieure berechnen die benötigte Schubkraft für jedes Triebwerk.
Engineers calculate the required thrust for each engine.
Common collocations include 'Schubkraft erzeugen' (to generate thrust), 'Schubkraft liefern' (to provide thrust), 'Schubkraft erhöhen' (to increase thrust), and 'maximale Schubkraft' (maximum thrust). An engine, motor, or propulsion system is often the source of the thrust mentioned in the sentence.
Durch den neuen Antrieb konnte das Fahrzeug seine Schubkraft deutlich erhöhen.
The new propulsion system enabled the vehicle to increase its thrust significantly.
