@wolf480pl On one technical screen they have nautical miles and ft/s (which I find worse than normal miles and mph).

@sjb AFAIK aviation uses that to intentionally have 2 different data types: altitude is always in feet, so ft/s would be climb rate / sink rate horizontal distance is always in nautical miles, so ground speed & air speed are in knots, etc But I don't see how that'd make sense in space what's in ft/s?
