About this converter
Macross prints Valkyrie speed as Mach at 10,000 m, not kph. This table converts each official Mach figure at 1062 kph per Mach. VF-1 opens at Mach 2.71 (2878 kph), VF-4 at 3.02 (3207), VF-1X Plus at 3.05 (3239), VF-11 and VF-171 tied at 3.5 (3717), VF-11MAXL Custom at 4.1 (4354), VF-171EX at 4.3 (4567), VF-19 and VF-25 tied at 5.0 (5310), YF-21 at 5.06 (5374), YF-19 at 5.1 (5416) and VF-31 at 5.5 (5841). That makes the VF-31 about twice the VF-1. Every Mach figure comes from the Macross Compendium or MAHQ, with the kph math kept in each note.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the speed in the chosen unit. Try 1 VF-31 against VF-1s.
Kph rows are estimates, not factory figures. The 1062 multiplier tracks the speed of sound near 10,000 m. At sea level sound runs near 1225 kph, so the same Mach reads higher down low. High altitude Mach 21 plus figures for space capable cruise stay out. Rows pin the 10,000 m atmospheric figure only. VF-0, VF-17, VF-22 and YF-29 stay out because no clean 10,000 m Mach figure was verified. Lengths live in the Valkyrie sizes table, not here.
FAQ
How fast is the VF-1 Valkyrie?
Mach 2.71 at 10,000 m, about 2878 kph by the 1062 multiplier used here.
How fast is the VF-31?
Mach 5.5+ at 10,000 m, about 5841 kph here. The fastest row.
Which is faster, VF-19 or VF-25?
They tie at Mach 5.0, about 5310 kph each in this table.
Are the kph figures official?
No. Kph rows are estimates from Mach x 1062. Only the Mach figures are factory specs.
