About Mach 20

Mach 20 ≈ 6,805.8 m/s (24,501 km/h) at ISA sea level - the peak heating regime of ballistic re-entry. Shock layer temperature exceeds 10,000 K; plasma sheath causes radio blackout. Space Shuttle decelerated through Mach 20 at ~75-80 km altitude; Apollo CM hit the atmosphere at ~Mach 36; ICBM warheads re-enter at Mach 18-24. DARPA HTV-2 reached Mach 20 in 2011. 1 Mach 20 = 6,805.8 m/s.

About Inches per Minute

An inch per minute (in/min) ≈ 0.4233 mm/s - the standard North American machining feed unit for slow precision cuts. CNC milling in titanium or nickel superalloys: HSS roughing 2-8 in/min; carbide finishing 15-40 in/min. Thread-tapping feeds are calculated in in/min from pitch × RPM. Hydraulic press platen closure for rubber moulding and laminate pressing: 0.05-2 in/min. 1 in/min = 0.0254 m/min ≈ 4.233 × 10⁻⁴ m/s.
