	New England hurricane of 1938 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In its early stages the storm center traveled about fifteen to twenty miles an hour in such a direction that it was expected to hit the southeast coast of the United States.
		The highest wind velocity at any one moment was 183 miles (294 kilometers) per hour, at the Blue Hill Observatory, Milton, Mass., where a sustained five-minute velocity of 121 miles (195 kilometers) per hour also was recorded.
		Velocities considerably over 100 miles (161 kilometrers) per hour were reported at many stations in the path of the hurricane.

	Physics and Astronomy Forums - A 'fly' inside an airplane
		The airplane is moving at 1000 kilometers per hour.
		If the fly were to have a large side cross-sectional view of its situation, it would see that the plane is moving at 1000 kilometers per hour, and in 70 seconds, has travelled about 19 kilometers.
		It is only travelling 3 kph in its own reference frame, but since it defines the plane as 0 kph, it can easily surpass the plane's speed.

	John F. Kennedy Space Center - Landing the Space Shuttle Orbiter at KSC
		As the speed decreases to about 185 knots or 185 nautical miles per hour (343 kilometers per hour), the nose of the orbiter begins to pitch down.
		At about the time the nose gear tires make contact with the runway, at around 160 knots or 160 nautical miles per hour (296 kilometers per hour), the chute disreefs and becomes fully inflated, thus creating a drag force to rapidly slow down the orbiter while providing a safety margin during the rollout.
		At approximately 30 knots or 30 nautical miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour), the chute has completed its function and disconnects from the orbiter, which rolls to a stop using its brakes.

		A parachute opens to slow the spacecraft down to 'only' 321 kilometers per hour (200 miles per hour), but now we have only 6 seconds left and are only 91 meters (100 yards) off the ground.
		It hits the ground at 48 kilometers per hour (30 miles per hour) or 80 kilometers per hour (50 miles per hour) if it is windy.

		The Galileo probe managed to get to about 106,000 miles per hour and currently holds the record for the fastest speed ever achieved by an artificial body.
		Its cruising speed is closer to 33,000 miles (53,100 kilometers) per hour.
		At a speed of 150,000 miles per hour from a passive slingshot maneuver, it would take about 17,900 years to reach this star.

		The average vertical rate of ascent of the column between 0838 and 0842 is 44 meters per second, or about 160 kilometers per hour.
		Because the 250-kilometer per hour velocity represents an average over the first 13 minutes, and because the plume-front velocity decreased after the first 13 minutes, velocities of the expanding ash cloud in the first few minutes of the eruption must have been much greater.
		Average velocities of the ash-plume front over the first 13 minutes, as calculated from satellite photographs, were only about 220 kilometers per hour in the direction of the prevailing wind, about 185 kilometers per hour northward, about 150 kilometers per hour northwestward, and zero to the south and southwest.
