From the road signs, you know that you've covered sixty miles in exactly an hour. Using the equation above we get the following: S=60/1. Voila: You now know that your car has been moving at 60mph. If you want that figure in kilometres per hour, it's 96.5kph (kph and mph conver...
Turkeys walk a lot – they can even run up to 25 mph (40 kph) –so their legs and thighs have lots of myoglobin and are dark meat. But domestic turkeys don't really fly; at best, they flap around. Their breast and wing muscles are made of fast-twitch fibers designed for quick bur...
At 75 mph (120.7 kph), the tires are using 12 horsepower, and at 55 mph (88.513 kph) they use 8.8 horsepower. All of that power is turning into heat. Most of it goes into the tires, but some of it goes into the road (the road actually bends a little when the car drives over ...
Penguins could give Michael Phelps a run for his money as well, with some able to swim faster than 20 mph (32 kph) [source: HowStuffWorks]. Puffins have a comparable diet to penguins, mostly consisting of small fish such as herring, hake and capelin. They propel themselves in water with...

The first prototype flew on 15th December 1940 and its performance (top speed of 540.7 kph/336 mph) was so good that Vladimir Petlyakov was released and the aircraft was named after him, thus receiving the designation Petlyakov Pe-2. The bomber was then rushed into serial production and ...

Can soak up damage from and return to base with an engine out. Can go up to 434 Mph or 700 kph IAS in a dive and maintain control. Cons: Armament, both offensive and defensive, can become inadequate tougher enemies. Prone to fires. History The Douglas DB-7 (DB-7B3) was a twin-...
However, when flying at sea-level, the Mikulin AM-35A struggled to maintain pace with the 109 at 505 kph (314 mph). + In early War Thunder aerial matches, it is not uncommon for bomber aircraft to climb higher up into higher altitudes. Doing so they can circle their targets and bomb...
