About Kilometres per Minute

A kilometre per minute (km/min) = 50/3 m/s ≈ 16.667 m/s. F1 cars at Monza average ~4.33 km/min in qualifying. High-speed trains (TGV, ICE) cruise at 2.5-3.5 km/min. Subsonic military jet trainers fly at 3-7 km/min; combat aircraft cruise at 7-10 km/min. Dead-reckoning navigation: elapsed minutes × km/min = distance. 1 km/min = 60 km/h = 37.28 mph.
