Conversion templates

"aircraft project" extract (talk) Hello! This is to announce that several templates for automatic convertion between metric and imperial units and for displaying consistently formatted output have been created: {{km to mi}}, {{mi to km}}, {{m to ft}}, {{ft to m}}, {{km2 to mi2}}, {{mi2 to km2}}, {{m2 to ft2}}, and {{ft2 to m2}}. Hopefully, they will be useful to the participants of this WikiProject. The templates are all documented, provide parameters to fine-tune the output, and can be substituted if necessary.

Also, pounds to kilograms {{convert|number|lb|kg}}, e.g. 55 pounds (25 kg). Others at Conversion templates.

Examples:

"Two {{convert|20|ft|m}} circumference brake parachutes and 
one {{convert|20|ft|m}} anti-spin parachute were housed in 
the rear fuselage above the jet pipe."

"Two 20 feet (6.1 m) circumference brake parachutes and one 20 feet (6.1 m) anti-spin parachute were housed in the rear fuselage above the jet pipe."

"Length {{convert|2000|ft|m}}" - thousands separators added

"Length 2,000 feet (610 m)"

"{{convert|12000|lb|kg}}" - no thousands separators

"12,000 pounds (5,400 kg)"

text H3K, Kawanishi

      Reconaissance flying boat. The prototype was built by the British Short
      Brothers company. The H3K was a big biplane with the engines in
      gondolas between the wings.
      Type: H3K1

      Armament: 6*mg7.62mm

timeline April 9 The world’s largest all-metal flying boat, the Short Brothers K.F.1, undergoes trials over Osaka Bay under a secret arrangement with the Imperial Japanese Navy. Powered by three 825-hp Rolls-Royce Buzzard engines, the aircraft spans 101 ft 10 in. and stretches 74 ft 5 in. Kawanishi Aircraft of Kobe holds the construction license for Short metal flying boats.

[1] Kawanishi (Navy Type 90-2 Flying Boat) H3K (Japan) Reconaissance flying boat. The prototype was built by the British Short Brothers company, and was based on the Calcutta and Rangoon series. The H3K was a big biplane with the engines in gondolas between the wings. Type: H3K1 Function: reconaissance Year: Crew: 8-9 Engines: 3 * 825hp R.R.

with picture Designed in the early 1930s, the H3K1 was already phased out of service by the mid-1930s. Five examples were built under license from an English design, using components mostly acquired from England, including the three imported 825hp Rolls-Royce Buzzard engines that each aircraft used. Experience with this design helped Kawanishi in later years when they manufactured the large H6K and H8K flying boats that were used extensively during the war. At the beginning of the war, however, lack of intelligence on the H3K led the Allies to believe that it was still in service, and so it was assigned the codename "Belle".
