If a plane was flying 90,000 yards in the air at a speed of 700 feet per second, how much jet fuel would it have to be carrying to melt steel beams?

But couldn't you also say that the plane was flying 90,000 feet in the air at a speed of 700 yards per second? I just feel like those units of measurement (UoM) are sort of the same (at least I can't differentiate them). Tis why I started the poll so we could get a community consensus.
