About Yards per pound
The yard per pound (yd/lb) equals ≈2.016 × 10⁻³ km/kg, found in old British and US military propellant efficiency tables and pre-metric naval gunnery manuals. Range achieved per pound of cordite or smokeless powder was stated in yards. 1 yd/lb ≈2.016 × 10⁻³ km/kg ≈ 3 ft/lb.
About Metres per kilogram
The metre per kilogram (m/kg) is the SI coherent derived unit of mass-based fuel efficiency. It is used in combustion research, rocket propellant comparative testing, and laboratory fuel-cell efficiency benchmarking. A car at 15 km/kg petrol = 15 000 m/kg; a hydrogen fuel cell bus at 120 km/kg H₂ = 120 000 m/kg. 1 m/kg = 1e⁻³ km/kg = 1/1000 km/kg.
