About these units
Foot/Hour (ft/h)
A foot per hour is almost comically slow, yet still relevant in specific technical fields. Pipeline corrosion creep, structural deformation, glacial shifts, and certain chemical processes may be measured in ft/h when imperial units are required. While practically invisible to human perception, speeds expressed in ft/h become meaningful over long intervals, providing insight into incremental natural or mechanical change.
Mile/Minute (mi/min)
A mile per minute corresponds to 60 miles per hour, making it a bridge between mph and high-speed conceptual measures. Aircraft climb rates, emergency vehicle response metrics, and theoretical speed comparisons sometimes use mi/min for rapid mental calculations. The unit is also used historically in railway performance, where achieving "a mile a minute" once symbolized extraordinary locomotive speed. Today it stands as both a technical unit and a romantic benchmark of transportation history.
