About Mach 1
Mach 1 = the speed of sound in dry air at ISA sea-level (15°C, 101.325 kPa) = exactly 340.29 m/s (1,225 km/h; 761 mph). Chuck Yeager first exceeded it on 14 October 1947 in the Bell X-1. At 35,000 ft cruise altitude (−56.5°C), it falls to 295.1 m/s. Flight regimes: subsonic
About Micrometres per Second
A micrometre per second (µm/s) is 10⁻⁶ m/s - the speed of cell motility, bacteria, and precision machining feeds. E. coli swims at 20-30 µm/s; the fastest bacteria (Thiovulum majus) reach 600 µm/s. Neutrophils chasing a chemoattractant move at 10-20 µm/s. Microfluidic lab-on-chip analytical channels flow at 1-1,000 µm/s. Diamond-turning lathe in-feeds for optical surfaces are 1-100 µm/s. Fast glacier centrelines move ~1-10 µm/s (~100 m/year). 1 µm/s = 10⁻⁶ m/s.
