What is an SP Increment?

Why is a block that size? It doesn't even seem to be a certain measurement. How big is a block? How big would ot be next to a pedestrian? A plane? Why what how?
This may be handy for people making fictional 1/1 scale planes.

    One simpleplane block that is 1 long is 1.65Ft (0.502m) so a block that is 2 long is about a metre long (3.3 feet)

    With my detailed cockpit planes, I try to make the weight as realistic as possible versus the size. @Sunnyskies

    @jamesPLANESii I consider the cockpit block as being just the canopy, so I like to have enough room underneath of it to accommodate the imaginary pilot's body.

    SP=(FT/3.28)*2
    That is the formula I use all the time to make scale parts.

    The people must be very small from 1.0 then eh? @Gestour

    A 1x1x1 block is 0.5x0.5x0.5 meters, I'm pretty sure. Which means a default fuselage block is 1 meter tall, wide, and long. Also means the maximum length of a fuselage block is 2.5 meters.

    It's half scale metric.
    1 block is half a meter tall, or 1.63 ft.
