Aviation Speed FAQ

Why Do Pilots Use Knots Instead of km/h or mph?

Pilots use knots because 1 knot equals 1 nautical mile per hour, and 1 nautical mile equals exactly 1 minute of latitude. This makes navigation calculations much simpler when working with aeronautical charts. All international aviation communications use knots as the standard speed unit.

What Speed Do Commercial Jets Cruise At?

Commercial jets typically cruise at 400-500 knots (740-926 km/h). For example:

• Boeing 737: ~450 kts (833 km/h)
• Airbus A320: ~447 kts (828 km/h)
• Boeing 777: ~490 kts (907 km/h)

What Is The Difference Between IAS, TAS, and Ground Speed?

IAS (Indicated Airspeed): What the cockpit instruments show, measured in knots.

TAS (True Airspeed): The actual speed through the air, corrected for altitude and temperature.

Ground Speed: Speed relative to the ground, affected by wind. A 450 kt aircraft with 50 kt headwind has 400 kt ground speed.

How Fast Is 80 Knots In Everyday Terms?

80 knots is approximately 100 km/h or 90 mph.

This is typical for small propeller aircraft or very fast boats.

Conversion Formula

To calculate a knot value to the corresponding value in mile per hour, just multiply the quantity in knot by 1.15078 (the conversion factor). Here is the formula:

Value in miles per hour = value in knot × 1.15078

Suppose you want to convert 80 knot into miles per hour. Using the conversion formula above, you will get:

Value in mile per hour = 80 × 1.15078 = 92.0624 miles per hour

Definition of Knot

Knots: A Unit of Measurement for Speed

A knot (symbol: kn or kt) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour (approximately 1.852 kilometers per hour or 1.15078 miles per hour). Knots are the standard unit of speed in aviation and maritime navigation worldwide.

The formal definition of a knot is the speed at which one nautical mile is traveled in one hour. The abbreviation "kts" (knots) is commonly used in aviation, particularly for airspeed indicators and flight plans.

Why Do Pilots and Sailors Use Knots?

Knots are preferred in aviation and maritime contexts because they are directly tied to the nautical mile, which corresponds to one minute of arc of latitude on the Earth's surface. This makes navigation calculations simpler when working with charts and coordinates. All international aviation and maritime communications use knots as the standard speed unit.

Common Aircraft Speeds in Knots

• Light aircraft cruise speed: 100-150 kts
• Turboprop aircraft cruise: 250-350 kts
• Commercial jet cruise (typical): 400-500 kts
• Boeing 737 cruise: ~450 kts (Mach 0.78)
• Boeing 777 cruise: ~490 kts (Mach 0.84)
• Airbus A320 cruise: ~447 kts (Mach 0.78)

Aviation Speed Terminology

• IAS (Indicated Airspeed): The speed shown on the aircraft's airspeed indicator, measured in knots.
• TAS (True Airspeed): The actual speed of the aircraft relative to the air mass, corrected for altitude and temperature.
• GS (Ground Speed): The speed of the aircraft relative to the ground, affected by wind.
• Mach Number: Speed relative to the speed of sound, commonly used at high altitudes.

Conversions to Other Units of Measurement:

1. Kilometers per Hour (km/h): To convert knots to kilometers per hour, multiply the speed in knots by approximately 1.852. For example, 1 knot is equal to approximately 1.852 kilometers per hour.
2. Miles per Hour (mph): To convert knots to miles per hour, multiply the speed in knots by approximately 1.15078. For example, 1 knot is equal to approximately 1.15078 miles per hour.
3. Meters per Second (m/s): To convert knots to meters per second, multiply the speed in knots by approximately 0.514444. For example, 1 knot is equal to approximately 0.514444 meters per second.
4. Feet per Second (ft/s): To convert knots to feet per second, multiply the speed in knots by approximately 1.68781. For example, 1 knot is equal to approximately 1.68781 feet per second.
5. Beaufort Scale: The Beaufort scale is a measure of wind force based on observed sea conditions. It ranges from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane force). Knots are often used in conjunction with the Beaufort scale to estimate wind speeds.
