Convert between mph, knots, km/h and m/s instantly, with the matching Beaufort scale force. Free, no account needed.
Check today's conditions →Manufacturers publish a drone's maximum wind resistance, usually in m/s, sometimes in km/h. Here is each rating for the drones DroneChecker supports, in every unit. When DJI quotes a wind “level”, such as Level 5 for 10.7 m/s, that is the Beaufort force.
| Rating | Converted, and the drones rated to it |
|---|---|
| 12 m/s | 27 mph · 43.2 km/h · 23 knots · Beaufort 6 DJI Mini 5 Pro, DJI Air 3 / 3S, DJI Mavic 4 Pro, DJI Mavic 3 |
| 10.7 m/s | 24 mph · 38.5 km/h · 21 knots · Beaufort 5 DJI Mini 4 Pro, DJI Neo 2, DJI Mini 3 & Mini 3 Pro, DJI Flip, DJI Avata 2 |
| 10.6 m/s | 24 mph · 38 km/h · 21 knots · Beaufort 5 Autel EVO Nano+, Potensic Atom SE |
| 10.5 m/s | 23 mph · 37.8 km/h · 20 knots · Beaufort 5 DJI Mini 2, Mini 2 SE & Mini 4K, DJI Air 2S |
| 10 m/s | 22 mph · 36 km/h · 19 knots · Beaufort 5 DJI Phantom 4 Pro |
| 8 m/s | 18 mph · 28.8 km/h · 16 knots · Beaufort 4 DJI Neo, DJI Mini 1 (Mavic Mini) |
| 7.9 m/s | 18 mph · 28.4 km/h · 15 knots · Beaufort 4 HoverAir X1 |
A rating is the most the drone is built to handle, not a comfortable flying wind, and gusts can go well past the average. DroneChecker uses each rating as that drone's Do Not Fly line and warns you before it. Compare wind and gust limits by drone →
The Beaufort scale is the standard reference for describing wind by its observed effect, from calm smoke to hurricane-force damage.
