The knot (/ n ɒ t /) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h (approximately 1.151 mph or 0.514 m/s). [1] [2] The ISO standard symbol for the knot is kn. [3]
17–21 knots 19–24 mph 29–38 km/h 8–10.7 m/s 6–10 ft 2–3 m Moderate waves taking a more pronounced long form; many white horses are formed; chance of some spray: Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters 6 Strong breeze 22–27 knots 25–31 mph 39–49 km/h 10.8–13.8 m/s 9–13 ft 3–4 m
The boat made 25 knots (46 km/h; 29 mph) on the surface, [8] and proved to be much faster than planned underwater and reached a top speed of 42 knots (78 km/h; 48 mph) at 90 percent power during her sea trials in December 1969.
A basic airspeed indicator with the indicated airspeed (IAS) indicated in knots ("Kt" or "Kts" or "KIAS") -- the most common unit of measure for airspeed. Some airspeed indicators in aircraft prior to the mid-1970s indicate in miles per hour plus knots (1 knot = 1.15 mph) or kilometers per hour (1 knot = 1.85 km/h).
Indomitable was designed for a speed of 25 knots (46 km/h; 29 mph), but reached 26.1 knots (48.3 km/h; 30.0 mph) during trials. [3] She maintained an average speed of 25.3 knots (46.9 km/h; 29.1 mph) for three days during a passage of the North Atlantic in August 1908.
When the maximum speed exceeds the average speed by 10 to 15 knots (19 to 28 km/h; 12 to 17 mph), the term gusts is used while strong gusts is used for departure of 15 to 25 knots (28 to 46 km/h; 17 to 29 mph), and violent gusts when it exceeds 25 knots (46 km/h; 29 mph). [4]
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore steps to the lectern to address the media in Dundalk, Maryland, on March 26, 2024, after the crash and collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
The boats can typically travel at speeds over 80 knots (150 km/h; 92 mph) in calm waters, over 50 knots (93 km/h) in choppy waters, and maintain 25 knots (46 km/h; 29 mph) in the average 1.5-to-2.1-metre (5 to 7 ft) Caribbean seas. They are heavy enough to cut through higher waves, although slower.
