Well, a nautical mile is defined relative to a fundamental constant -- the circumference of the earth at the equator. This is objectively useful when at sea, and so I, for one, prefer it to either statute miles or kilometers. Here in Norway

Yes, but they are also exposed to significant stresses. The tips Can move at hundreds of kilometers per hour, and of course the blades are constantly subject to rotational forces as well.
