About Miles per pound
The mile per pound (mi/lb) equals ≈3.548 km/kg, the traditional US aviation mass-efficiency unit. Cessna 172 on avgas: ≈0.28-0.32 mi/lb; Piper Cherokee: ≈0.30-0.35 mi/lb; Boeing 737 MAX per seat: ≈0.10-0.15 mi/lb. US military aircraft fuel efficiency analyses and early NASA propellant studies used mi/lb. 1 mi/lb ≈3.548 km/kg = 1.609344/0.45359237 km/kg.
About Metres per pound
The metre per pound (m/lb) equals ≈2.205 × 10⁻³ km/kg, a transitional unit bridging SI metres with imperial pound mass. It appears in some international academic fuel cell papers and comparative combustion analysis where authors mix SI distance with US fuel weight measurements. 1 m/lb ≈2.205 × 10⁻³ km/kg ≈1.094 yd/lb.
