Knot
A knot is a unit of speed that equals one nautical mile per hour. This is the most common unit of measure for the airspeed of an aircraft, and is equal to 6,080 feet or about 1.15 miles.

Knot - One nautical mile is 15% greater than a statue mile (6,080'); a Light Sport Aircraft flying at 120 knots is traveling at 138 mph.

The most important variables used to trim your kite are the Bridle and Knot variables. Bridle gives the total length of the bridle string in inches or centimeters.

-Should be clear, straight grained, smooth and free from knot holes and sap pockets, and carefully kiln-dried or seasoned. It is about the lightest and for its weight the strongest wood used.

One technique is to accelerate forward into translational lift and then bring the nose up into a 40 knot attitude. The idea is that with translational lift, the helicopter has enough excess power to gain altitude.

It has to get extremely hot for the wax to 'melt' off the nylon allowing the nylon to dry up and the knot to unravel. The knots that I use are quite simple and will be demonstrated in virtually any book on knots.

A steady 60°, 15 knot crosswind is one thing and almost a joy to tame. A snappy little wind that is averaging 15 knots, but gusting five knots either side of that is another matter.

A five knot tailwind increase take-off distance with 25% and a ten knot tailwind with 55%. The same can be said about landing distances.

across, was held down by a rope passing under the rails of the cart and terminating in a slip knot fastened to Le Bris's wrist, so that with one jerk he could loosen the attachment and allow the rope to run.

The efficiency of the hovering rotor system is improved with each knot of incoming wind gained by horizontal movement or surface wind.

The unit for speed is the knot - one knot is one nautical mile per hour.
Wind velocity is described in terms of the direction from which the wind is blowing and its speed in knots.

Knot (Kt) A unit of speed used in navigation equal to one nautical mile per hour. Mean Sea Level (MSL) The average height of the surface of the sea for all stages of tide; used as a reference for elevations (also see AGL).

Do you think it is possible for, let's say a C-172 to be rolled inverted by a strong gust of wind? I'm not talking the kind of winds you would get with a tornado or a strong thunderstorm, just like a 20-25 knot crosswind.
Thanks for any ideas, ...
