Bar is a sgc unit invented by a Brit and is nearly 1 atmosphere.

It isn't per say a SI unit. But hectopascal is. There is no difference what so ever about the size of them 1 bar is defined as 100 kilopascals or 1000 hectopascals.

The russians have gone ft in Area but not in Terminal I think it has changed in the last few months.
