Both originally described in Imperial units (yards). Metric equivalents are given, and broadly similar lengths, about 110m or between 110 and 130 yards. Individual pitches vary quite a bit, so it is not a great unit for use in aeronautical engineering where I understand precision is generally preferred. So about 150ft span. Give or take. A bit.
