Which statement about ACV's speeds is true?

• A. 65 mph on land and 6-7 knots on water
• B. 65 mph on land and 10 knots on water
• C. 50 mph on land and 6-7 knots on water
• D. 70 mph on land and 6-7 knots on water

Answer: (A)

ACVs move very fast on land thanks to wheels and a powerful drivetrain, but in water the hull and propulsion are designed for amphibious transit rather than high speed. The land speed is about 65 mph, which is a typical capability for rapid land movement. On water, the speed is limited to roughly 6-7 knots because the hull form and water-jet propulsion keep it in a modest cruising speed rather than a high-speed run. The other options mix land speeds that don’t match the vehicle’s tested performance or water speeds that aren’t supported by its design, so they aren’t accurate.
