About Miles per Second
A mile per second (mi/s) = exactly 1,609.344 m/s - above the fastest air-breathing aircraft. NASA X-43A scramjet: 2.9 km/s ≈ 1.8 mi/s (Mach 9.6). Earth's orbital speed around the Sun: ~18.5 mi/s (29.8 km/s). Light travels ~186,282 mi/s in vacuum - the classic imperial figure still used in popular astronomy. Tunguska impactor entered Earth's atmosphere at ~9-11 mi/s. 1 mi/s = 3,600 mph = 3,128.3 kn.
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.
