About Nautical Mile (nmi)

A unit of length used in maritime and air navigation, equal to exactly 1,852 meters (about 1.151 statute miles). The nautical mile was defined to equal one minute of arc of latitude along any meridian, making it uniquely useful for chart plotting — one degree of latitude is 60 nautical miles anywhere on Earth. International shipping, commercial aviation, and maritime speed (measured in knots, or nautical miles per hour) all use nautical miles as their native unit because the math of navigation is dramatically simpler than with statute miles.

About Foot (ft)

An imperial unit of length equal to 12 inches (0.3048 meters exactly). Although most countries have moved to the metric system, the foot remains the international aviation standard for altitude — flight levels are quoted in hundreds of feet worldwide — and is the primary unit in US construction blueprints, real estate listings, surveying, and everyday height measurement in the US and UK. A foot divides into 12 inches and three feet make a yard, reflecting the base-12 heritage of English measurement.
