About Metres per Minute
A metre per minute (m/min) equals exactly 1/60 m/s ≈ 0.016667 m/s and is widely used in manufacturing, printing, and industrial processes as a natural metric extension. CNC router cutting feeds in metric workshops are specified in m/min: wood at 3-10 m/min, aluminium at 1-4 m/min. High-speed printing press web speeds range from a few m/min on proof presses to 600-1,200 m/min on modern flexographic machines; inkjet web printers run at 50-200 m/min. Treadmill running speeds are resolved to m/min in training-intensity calculations: walking 80-100 m/min, jogging 150-180 m/min, running 240-300 m/min. Elite 100 m freestyle swimmers complete their length in about 47 seconds - approximately 127 m/min. Wind turbine blade hub speeds of large utility turbines reach 60-100 m/min at rotor hub radius, rising to 400+ m/min at the blade tip. Paper machine wire speeds in modern fourdrinier mills run at 60-1,200 m/min depending on grade. 1 m/min = 1/60 m/s ≈ 0.06 km/h = 3.281 ft/min.
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
