How to Convert Mach Number to Speed

Formula

Speed (mph) = Mach × 767.269

Speed (km/h) = Mach × 1234.8

Mach 1 is the speed of sound at sea level and 15 degrees Celsius, approximately 343 meters per second (767.269 mph or 1234.8 km/h). Actual speed of sound varies with temperature and altitude.

Example Calculation

Convert Mach 2 to mph and km/h.

  1. 01mph = 2 × 767.269 = 1534.54 mph
  2. 02km/h = 2 × 1234.8 = 2469.60 km/h
  3. 03m/s = 2 × 343 = 686.00 m/s
