About Mach 5
Mach 5 ≈ 1,701.45 m/s (6,125 km/h) at ISA sea level - the conventional supersonic/hypersonic boundary. Above Mach 5, stagnation temperatures exceed 1,500°C, air dissociates around the vehicle, and ablative thermal protection becomes mandatory. Space Shuttle re-entered at Mach 25; Soyuz capsules at Mach 27; ICBM warheads at Mach 15-25. NASA X-43A scramjet reached Mach 9.6 (air-breathing record, 2004). 1 Mach 5 = 1,701.45 m/s.
About Feet per Minute
A foot per minute (ft/min) = 5.08 × 10⁻³ m/s - the US standard for elevator speed, HVAC duct velocity, and conveyor speed. Residential lifts: 100-200 ft/min; commercial 200-400 ft/min; skyscraper express lifts 1,000-3,000 ft/min (Burj Khalifa 2,953 ft/min). HVAC low-velocity ductwork: 500-1,000 ft/min; medium-velocity 1,000-2,200 ft/min. Paper machine Fourdrinier wires: 200-6,000 ft/min. 1 ft/min = 0.00508 m/s.
