Tradition, of course. But why would you want to replace one obsolete unit by another unit that is also obsolete? The correct unit for speed is meters/second, or perhaps kilometers/hour.
Use this formula to convert knots to miles per hour: knots x 1.15 = mph25.3 knots x 1.15 = about 29.11 mph
Pilots use knots as a measurement of speed, so they would call 1250 mph "1086 knots".They would, however, call 1,250 kph, Mach 1.
i looked it up and it said: 30 knots. i hope you can use it!
The speed of fighter jets is never recorded in MPH. -We use that figure here just for the convenience of people who don't understand Mach numbers or knots.
because it's shorter mph simply means miles per hour
One knot is 1.15mph
Airplanes do not have gas pedals. Instead they use a throttle lever which is hand operated. Some planes come with pedals that are used to operate the rudder or brakes.
An anemometer measures wind speed. Whether is it mph, fps, m/s, knots, furlongs per fortnight, etc., all depends on the application.
Celtic knots are known for their use in ornamentation of Christian monuments. Celtic knots can be graphical representation of knots or actual knots in these decorations.
To find the time it takes for a ship to travel 500 miles at a speed of 21.1 knots, you can use the formula: time = distance/speed. Since 1 knot is equivalent to 1 nautical mile per hour, the ship's speed in miles per hour is approximately 24.3 mph (1 knot = 1.15078 mph). Thus, the time taken will be about 20.6 hours (500 miles ÷ 24.3 mph).

About 750 mph is the speed of a subsonic air plane. Commercial jets average about 600 mph at cruising altitude. The fastest planes in regular use are military fighters, which can make speeds of 1100 MPH (F18) and higher, up to 2,115 MPH (MiG-25). Specialty aircraft like the X-15 and X-43 Scramjet made speeds of 4,000 MPH and 7,000 MPH.
