|---|---|
| 1 NM | 12,152.2 shaftment |
| 2 NM | 24,304.5 shaftment |
| 5 NM | 60,761.2 shaftment |
| 10 NM | 121,522 shaftment |
| 20 NM | 243,045 shaftment |
| 50 NM | 607,612 shaftment |
| 100 NM | 1,215,220 shaftment |
| 500 NM | 6,076,120 shaftment |
| 1,000 NM | 12,152,200 shaftment |
Nautical mile (NM). A nautical mile is exactly 1,852 meters, based on one minute of latitude, and is used in shipping and aviation.
Shaftment (shaftment). A shaftment is 6 inches (15.24 cm), an old English measure of the hand and thumb.
There are 12,152.2 shaftments in one nautical mile.
Multiply the number of nautical miles by 12,152.2. For example, 10 nautical miles equal 121,522 shaftments.
One shaftment equals 8.22894 × 10⁻⁵ nautical miles.
