Makes so much more sense that it was originally in metric but looks weird translated to imperial.

They should've went with football fields instead, and weight in washing machines

It's because the precision is overstated in the conversion to imperial. If they're going to convert units they could at least give the correct significant digits. It should have read (if one insists on not just leaving it in metric): - Operational altitude: nearly 1 mile (1.5km) - Weight: Under 1 ton (imperial or metric. Take your pick, it hardly matter.)
