About converting Mach to Foot per Sec

Converting Mach to Foot per Sec is a common speed conversion. One mach (M) equals 1,116 foot per sec (ft/s). Mach numbers express speed relative to the speed of sound, used in aviation and aerospace.

This conversion is commonly needed for driving and speed limit compliance, running and fitness tracking, aviation and flight planning. Feet per second are used in ballistics, engineering, and some US speed calculations.

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

Did you know?

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

Real-world examples
Mach (M)
  • a commercial jet (about Mach 0.85)
  • the speed of sound (Mach 1)
  • a bullet from a rifle (about Mach 2.5)
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)
