What is mach (approx at sea level)?

Mach is a dimensionless speed unit expressing the ratio of an object’s speed to the local speed of sound. At sea level, Mach 1 is approximately 343 m/s. It is used in aviation and aerodynamics to characterise high-speed flight regimes.

What is foot per second?

Foot per second is a unit of speed in imperial and US customary systems. It is used in ballistics, sports science, and engineering calculations that rely on US customary units.

Worked examples

1 mach (approx at sea level) = 1,116.43700787 foot per second

1 foot per second = 0.3048 metre per second
