I'm going way off topic here but it's something I wondered about recently, is there some simple approximation to convert the rated thrust of jet airplanes into a power output figure? Or is that power output figure calculated some other way?

From a probably overly simple mechanical viewpoint, power is force times velocity. So if you have thrust measured in Newtons, you can multiply by airspeed to get power in Watts. Convert to horsepower at your leisure.
