Data


Some jetliner types beyond the short-to-medium haul class (mostly an advanced version) in a chronological order, last updated 2018 (data are varying, dependent on sources and the aircraft type’s version):



Measurements

According to Gordon/ Gunston (‘Soviet X-Planes’) and Langenscheidts:
1 ft (foot) = 0.305 m (meter)
1 m = 3.28 ft
1 km = 1,000 m = 0.621 miles
1 km/h = 0.621 mph
1 mile (Imperial) = 1.609 km
1 n.mi, nm (nautical mile) = 1.853 km
1 hp (horse power) = 0.746 kW
1 kg = 2.205 lb (pounds)
1 lb (pound) = 0.454 kg
1 ton = 1,000 kg
1 long ton = 1,016 kg
1 short ton = 907.18 kg
1 gallon (Imperial) = 4.546 litres
(500 Imperial (UK) gallons = 600 US gallons)
1 litre = 0.219 Imperial gallons
1 barrel petroleum = 159 liter
1 Imperial barrel = 163.6 liter
0 degree K. (Kelvin) = -273.16 degree C (Celsius)
Mach1 in 41,000 ft (12.5 km) altitude = 1,078 km/h
