    The fastest I've ever been was 413km/h on the Chinese Maglev Train. It was crazy!!! Even though the train wasn't in contact with the rail it still shook quite a bit. Everything whizzed by the window. It was sensational!!

    most airliners(turbofan not turboprop) cruise at around 450-500 knots which is 800-900 KPH.....

    just divide by 1.6 to convert from KM to miles 900/1.6=562.5 or if you're talking to someone who thinks 1 mile=1.625 KM 1.625 900\1.625=553

    has anyone sat on an airplane and gone to sleep by watching the stats on the flight? stuff such as current speed, and miles left. It's unbelievable watching a mile go by in less than 2 seconds

    1 mile is 1600 meters, one kilometer is 1000 meters....to get MPH from KPH you divide by 1.6....basic math, you learn it in grade 6

    or to convert MPH to KPH u devide the MPH by 0.6 then u'll get the speed in KPH... i think

    in this case... its 470MPH / 0.6 = 783.33 (roughly)
