Well, I had to screw it up :D

 

I overlooked knots, was that used in the original? I have very little knowledge of knots, apart from that they're a nautical measurement.

 

Knots seem a little unusual in this situation; they seem better suited for TFTD.

Knots are standard in measuring aircraft speeds all over the world.

1 knot = 1.852 km/hour = 1 nm/hour

True that Mach is more useful when talking about speeds near or over speed of sound (over about 250 m/s). In military it is also common.

 

Some countries´ military use km/h, m/s, knots, and almost every unit mankind has created...

 

I meant that in civil aviation´s slower speeds knots are standard.

Ah, right. well, as we are the elite military, and we *should* be travelling just a tad faster than the speed of sound, I think we should be alright then.
