This has probably been discussed before, but I couldn't find it anywhere. In the 'Aircraft design, a conceptual approach' book, what units are you supposed to be using? I'm guessing its feet (decimal?), pounds and seconds but would you measure range in feet rather than miles? Is speed always measured in feet per second? He says "watch the units" under some equations but doesn't tell you what units to use.
