1 international knot = 1 nautical mile per hour (by definition), 1 852.000 metres per hour (exactly), [5] 0.51444 metres per second (approximately), 1.15078 miles per hour (approximately), 20.25372 inches per second (approximately) 1.68781 feet per second (approximately). The length of the internationally agreed nautical mile is 1 852 m.
The aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline, [15] the autopilot remained engaged until the aircraft was about 230 feet (70 m) above ground level, and airspeed during the final approach was about 140 knots (160 mph; 260 km/h), and 133 knots (153 mph; 246 km/h) at touchdown.
Here the speed is displayed both in knots (kn) and miles per hour (mph). The true airspeed (TAS; also KTAS, for knots true airspeed) of an aircraft is the speed of the aircraft relative to the air mass through which it is flying. The true airspeed is important information for accurate navigation of an aircraft.
Captain Avery stated that the crew would stop trimming the aircraft at 184 knots (212 mph; 341 km/h) and that the stall speed (V S) was 122 knots (140 mph; 226 km/h). Flight engineer Waelti stated that the stick shaker would activate at 128 knots (147 mph; 237 km/h), which was 6 knots (6.9 mph; 11 km/h) higher than the calculated stall speed.
Within the basin, a super cyclonic storm is defined as a tropical cyclone that has 3-minute mean maximum sustained wind speeds of at least 120 knots (220 km/h; 140 mph). The category was formally introduced during the 1999 season alongside Very Severe Cyclonic Storms , in order to replace the previously used Severe Cyclonic Storm with Core of ...
14.7 knots (27.2 km/h; 16.9 mph) Range: 1,500 nmi (2,800 km; 1,700 mi) at 14.7 knots ... The 140-foot Bay-class tugboats are operated primarily for domestic ice ...
An airspeed indicator for an aeroplane. Indicated airspeed is displayed on the black background (in this case both in knots (kn) and miles per hour (mph)). The pilot sets the pressure altitude and air temperature in the top window using the knob. Based on that, the white background scale in the lower left window moves to give true airspeed.
15.8 knots (29.3 km/h; 18.2 mph) surfaced; 7.6 knots (14.1 km/h; 8.7 mph) submerged ... SM U-140 was a Type U 139 submarine that served in the Imperial German Navy in ...
