During a VOR variable signal rotation of 30 revolutions per second, what is the rate in revolutions per minute?

Converting time units is all about multiplying by the number of seconds in a minute. If something rotates at 30 revolutions per second, multiply by 60 seconds per minute to get revolutions per minute: 30 × 60 = 1800. So the rate is 1800 revolutions per minute. This is just a straightforward unit conversion, and in VOR terminology you’ll often switch between rev/s and rpm depending on what you’re comparing.
