The result line prints the equality plus the per unit ratio. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1. Meters per second and km/h interconvert.
Cruise values sort with boost in context, not converted. Sidewinder brochure 220 versus site 221 uses current site 221 with the rounding noted.
