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 Miles per Minute

A mile per minute (mi/min) = exactly 26.8224 m/s = 60 mph. The X-15 rocket plane flew at ~4.5 mi/min (Mach 6.7); the SR-71 Blackbird at ~2.1 mi/min (Mach 3.2). Speed of sound at sea level ≈ 0.77 mi/min. 'Mile-a-minute' (60 mph = 1 mi/min) was a historic railway milestone first achieved on the Great Western Railway in the 1840s. 1 mi/min = 96.5604 km/h.
