Specific Impulse

Specific Impulse is a performance metric in propulsion systems that quantifies the impulse produced per unit of propellant consumed, typically expressed as thrust force per unit weight flow rate of propellant, distinguishing it from other efficiency measures by directly reflecting the propellant efficiency of rocket and jet engines.
