Mach

Mach is the ratio of an object's speed to the local speed of sound. Mach 1 at sea level in standard conditions = 1225 km/h (340.29 m/s). Supersonic starts at Mach 1; hypersonic at Mach 5. The Concorde cruised at Mach 2.04; the X-15 reached Mach 6.7.

Real-world: Concorde: Mach 2.04. F-16 fighter: Mach 2. SR-71 Blackbird: Mach 3.3. Space re-entry: Mach 25+.

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

1 mph = 1.609 km/h = 0.447 m/s.
Quick convert: mph × 1.6 = km/h.
UK speeds posted in mph on road signs despite general metrication.

Avoid these

Reading a UK road sign "50" as km/h — it's mph (= 80 km/h).
Converting mph to km/h by multiplying by 1.5 instead of 1.609 — 7% error.
Assuming "mph" and "MPH" differ — capitalisation does not matter.
