About mach and feet per second
The Conversion Formula
To convert mach to feet per second, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 Ma = 1125.33 ft/s. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 Ma to feet per second: 25 × 1125.33 = 28133.2 ft/s. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 1125.33, or equivalently multiply by 0.00088863.
About mach
Mach number is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound. Named after Ernst Mach, 'Mach 1' is the speed of sound. It varies with temperature and altitude. It is the language of supersonic flight and high-speed aerodynamics. mach are commonly used in Fighter jets, Rockets and missiles, Supersonic transport, and Space shuttle re-entry, Aerodynamic testing.
A commercial airliner cruises around Mach 0.8.
About feet per second
Feet per second (fps) is the imperial cousin to meters per second. It is widely used in ballistics to measure the muzzle velocity of firearms and arrows. It is also common in US engineering for fluid flow rates. One fps is exactly 0.3048 m/s. feet per second are commonly used in Bullet muzzle velocity, Archery arrow speed, Paintball marker speed, and Fluid dynamics (US), Crash test impact speed.
A paintball marker fires at about 300 fps.
When Would You Convert mach to feet per second?
Converting between mach and feet per second is one of the most common speed conversions. You might need this conversion when working with international specifications, following instructions written for a different measurement system, or comparing values across different standards. Having the conversion factor (1 Ma = 1125.33 ft/s) memorized or bookmarked can save time in professional and everyday contexts alike.
