Mach number ((M)*) to Knot (kn) converter

Converting from Mach number ((M)*) to Knot (kn) in Speed

What is Mach number ((M)*)?

The Mach number ((M)*) is a dimensionless quantity representing the speed of an object in a fluid medium, typically used in aerospace engineering to compare the speed of an aircraft to the speed of sound in that medium.

What is Knot (kn)?

The knot (kn) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. It is commonly used in navigation and aviation to measure the speed of vessels and aircraft.
