Boeing's Phantom Unmanned Aircraft Takes Flight

A "cruising altitude of 62 KNOTS"?

Someone needs to whop KNOTS on that writer's head.

For the record, A KNOT is a nautical measure of speed through a fluid, whether water or air.

Altitude is self-evident. It is height above some reference, and has nothing to do with velocity in any direction.

And if the itent was to note 62 knots of airspeed, that is a fairly UNimpressive speed of only around 54 MPH, if I remember conversion right.

But the whole thing, even if 62 knots IS impressive to the reader, falls apart due to the laxity of editing/writing in the headline.
