About converting Foot per Sec to Mach

Converting Foot per Sec to Mach is a common speed conversion. One foot per sec (ft/s) equals 0.000895706603 mach (M). Feet per second are used in ballistics, engineering, and some US speed calculations.

This conversion is commonly needed for driving and speed limit compliance, running and fitness tracking, aviation and flight planning. Mach numbers express speed relative to the speed of sound, used in aviation and aerospace.

To put foot per sec in perspective: a fast elevator (about 20 ft/s). In mach, common references include a commercial jet (about Mach 0.85).

Real-world examples
Foot per Sec (ft/s)
  • a fast elevator (about 20 ft/s)
  • a pitched baseball (about 130 ft/s)
  • the speed of sound (about 1,125 ft/s)
Mach (M)
  • a commercial jet (about Mach 0.85)
  • the speed of sound (Mach 1)
  • a bullet from a rifle (about Mach 2.5)
Did you know?

Mach numbers are named after Austrian physicist Ernst Mach. The exact speed of Mach 1 varies with temperature and altitude.
