Mach
Jet velocity unit
Mach is a unit expressing the ratio of an object's speed to the speed of sound.
At Mach 1, something travels at the speed of sound; at Mach 2, twice the speed of sound.
The term appears mainly in aviation and aerospace contexts: The jet reached Mach 3.
Named for physicist Ernst Mach.
