To convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour, we can multiply the given speed by the conversion ratio of 0.62.
Speed in miles per hour = 900 kilometers per hour * 0.62 miles per kilometer
Speed in miles per hour ≈ 558 miles per hour
Therefore, the airplane's speed in miles per hour is approximately 558.
