How to Convert Mach Number to Miles per Hour

To convert a Mach measurement to a mile per hour measurement, multiply the Mach number by the conversion ratio. Mach 1 is equal to 767.269148 miles per hour, so use this simple formula to convert:

miles per hour = Mach number × 767.269148

The speed in miles per hour is equal to the Mach number multiplied by 767.269148.

For example, here's how to convert Mach 2 to miles per hour using the formula above.
Mach 2 = (2 × 767.269148) = 1,534.538296 mph

What Is Mach Number?

Mach, sometimes also referred to as a Mach number, is the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound.[1]

Mach can be abbreviated as M, and is also sometimes abbreviated as Ma. For example, Mach 1 can be written as 1 M or 1 Ma.

Although Mach can be abbreviated M or Ma, the Mach number is typically expressed with the number after the unit name. For example, the expression Mach 3 is preferred rather than 3 Machs or 3 M.

The speed is classified as either subsonic, transonic, supersonic, or hypersonic depending on the Mach number.

Speed classifications for various mach numbers.
Speed Classification Mach Number
Subsonic Mach < 1.0
Transonic Mach = 1.0
Supersonic Mach > 1.0
Hypersonic Mach > 5.0

What Are Miles per Hour?

Miles per hour are a measurement of speed expressing the distance traveled in miles in one hour.[2]

The mile per hour is a US customary and imperial unit of speed. Miles per hour can be abbreviated as mph, and are also sometimes abbreviated as mi/h or MPH. For example, 1 mile per hour can be written as 1 mph, 1 mi/h, or 1 MPH.

Miles per hour can be expressed using the formula:
vmph = dmi / thr

The velocity in miles per hour is equal to the distance in miles divided by time in hours.
