About these units
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.
Foot/Second (ft/s)
The foot per second is an imperial speed unit used in engineering, ballistics, aviation, and certain sports sciences. It expresses the number of feet traveled per second. Ballistics experts use ft/s to measure bullet velocities and projectile speeds, particularly in countries with strong imperial-unit traditions. Engineers may use ft/s in fluid flow calculations or mechanical system design when working with legacy data. Although ft/s is rarely seen in daily life, it remains relevant in niche disciplines where imperial units dominate, offering a smaller, more precise scale than mph.
