At least in the AP article they included the metric and if you notice, the metric is rounded compared to the non-metric.
Did you mean to state 35 km/h? I see 22 mph not 22 km/h in the brackets. Solar Impulse whirred along the runway at Payerne in western Switzerland shortly after daybreak, reaching 35 kilometres per hour (22 mph) as lone pilot Andre Borschberg gently took off into clear summer skies at 6:51 am (0451 GMT). ________________________________ From: John M.
