Formula

Ma × 1,125.328084 = ft/s

Example: 1 Ma = 1,125.328084 ft/s

What is Mach?

The Mach number is the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound. Named after physicist Ernst Mach, Mach 1 equals the speed of sound, approximately 340 m/s in standard atmosphere. It is primarily used in aerospace: the Concorde cruised at Mach 2.04, and modern fighter jets are rated by their maximum Mach number. Exceeding Mach 1 produces a sonic boom. For conversion purposes, this tool uses the standard atmosphere speed of sound at sea level (15 degrees Celsius), which is 343 m/s.

What is Foot per second?

The foot per second is a unit of speed equal to 0.3048 meters per second. It is used primarily in the United States in engineering and ballistics. Muzzle velocities of firearms are traditionally expressed in ft/s, with typical rifle rounds ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 ft/s. It is also used in HVAC engineering for duct air velocity and in various American industrial standards. One ft/s is exactly 0.3048 m/s.
