Knots are a unit of speed commonly used in maritime and aviation contexts, yet many are unfamiliar with how fast a knot is compared to more widely used measurements like miles or kilometers per hour. This article demystifies knots, explaining their speed, historical origins, and how they compa...
If the submarine travelled an average of 12.0 knots for 3.5 hours, how many kilometers have they traveled? How to convert nautical miles to statute miles At a speed of 12 m/sec how far can you travel in one minute? A boat can travel 8 mph in still...
Rapid intensification is defined by meteorologists as increase in the maximum sustained winds of atropical cycloneof at least 30 knots (about 35 mph) in a 24 hour period,according tothe U.S. National Hurricane Center. Dr. Richard Knabb, director of NOAA's National Hurricane Center in Miami, ...
The government’s UFO report has landed: It concludes that strange aircraft have been haunting U.S. warships for years, marking a new era for “unidentified aerial phenomena.”
Turn the boat’s steering wheel sideways to avoid colliding with an obstacle or another vessel. This technique only works if you’re going at least 100 MPH or 87 knots. Shift the gear to Neutral and wait a second or two before engaging it in Reverse. ...
Operates in wind speeds 10–55mph (16–90 km/h). 10–40mph (16–64 km/h). Cost $1–2 million per MW. $500–100,000. Provides power to 500–5500 homes. 1 home (or single site). How to set up your own micro-wind turbine If you want to build your own micro-wind turbine, ...
Just swinging a standard-size wet fly often fails to produce during heavy grannom hatches because there are so many naturals in the water. To stand out, I swing large wets (#10-12) for this hatch, two sizes larger than the naturals. Advertisement See Photo GalleryGrannom Caddis (Brachy...
He’s also worried about 28 mph crosswinds swirling around the runway, which can easily force a small plane off course on landing. Morgan tells him to make a slight turn to the west. “We’re going to bring ...
By most accounts, the fastest ship is/was Cunard's Queen Mary 2, with a top speed of 30 knots, or 35 mph. She was just a tad slower than sister vessel Queen Elizabeth 2, which ad a reported top speed of 32 knots. Instead of the diesel-electric configuration found on many ships, ...
Wind speed under 15 knots (less than 20 mph) Cloud base at least 500 feet Visibility at least 3 statute miles (SM) If flying at dawn / dusk, double-check civil twilight hours Establish take-off, landing, and emergency hover zones Potential for electromagnetic interference? Look for towers,...
