c/8 orthogonal is an orthogonal speed that is equivalent to one eightth of the speed of light.
Spaceships
Using caterloopillar technology, Michael Simkin constructed a c/8 orthogonal ship on April 9, 2016.[1] This is currently the only known spaceship of this speed.
Puffers
Simple modifications of the caterloopillar can result in c/8 orthogonal rakes and puffers.[2]
