What is the relationship between mile/minute and mph?

One mile per minute equals 60 miles per hour, making it a convenient unit for quick conversion to mph and metric speeds.

Why is the knot (UK) unit important in navigation?

The knot (UK) represents speed relative to a nautical mile per hour, used widely in maritime and aviation contexts for accurate communication of vessel and aircraft speeds.

Can I use this converter for aviation speeds?

Yes, this converter is suitable for converting speeds used in aviation, especially over water routes where speeds are commonly expressed in knots.
