1. What is Feet Per Minute to MPH Conversion?

The conversion from feet per minute (ft/min) to miles per hour (mph) is commonly used in aviation, engineering, and various scientific applications to express speed in different units.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

\[ MPH = \left(\frac{Feet\ Per\ Minute}{60}\right) \times 0.681818 \]

Where:

60 — Converts minutes to hours
0.681818 — Conversion factor from feet to miles (1 mile = 5280 feet, so 1/5280 × 3600 = 0.681818)

Explanation: First convert minutes to hours (divide by 60), then convert feet to miles (multiply by 0.681818).

3. Importance of Speed Conversion

Details: Different industries use different units of speed. Aviation often uses feet per minute for climb/descent rates, while ground speed is typically measured in mph or knots.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the speed in feet per minute (ft/min) to get the equivalent in miles per hour (mph). The default value is 11000 ft/min.
